Abstract
A distance measuring apparatus installed in an automobile to measure with a high degree of accuracy a distance between a road surface and the axle of vehicle body of the automobile in motion. With this distance measuring apparatus, the distance between the point of its installation on the automobile and the road surface is measured by transmitting wave signals from the point of installation toward the road surface, selecting only the reflected wave signals of a predetermined intensity from the received reflected wave signals from the road surface and then integrating and averaging the data of the distance to the road surface derived from the selected reflected wave signals.
