Abstract
A method for measuring the displacement of a vehicle wheel relative to the frame thereof or relative to a fixed point of reference. The vehicle is located on a test stand in which the wheel is loaded, statically or dynamically. In a first step, a measuring system including cameras measures the position of at least three points of reference on the wheel, these three points of reference not being in a straight line. In a second step, the relative displacement of the wheel is calculated.
