Calibration step 3: dry road reference
Sensor needs a reference of how local dry road looks like. The reference setting is performed while
driving on the most common road surface type in the road network. This optimizes the sensor
performance on the road type in question.
Do one of the following:
•
Option A: drive on local dry road with the most common surface type.
•
Option B: use factory coefficients temporarily before local dry road becomes available.
•
Option C: copy local dry coefficient values from another sensor.
Option A: driving on local dry road
Drive on dry road for 30 seconds to get an average reference from local road.
Requirement
Description
Mobile sensor location
Installed on vehicle
Vehicle position
Moving
Surface state
Completely dry road surface
Surface condition
Old asphalt; avoid newly laid asphalt
Surface material
Prefer asphalt over concrete unless concrete is the
most common surface material in the area of interest
Recommended for first-time use of sensor and first adaptation for the specific road surface type.
1.
Select a location where the road surface type is representative of the most commonly existing
surface type in the area of interest.
2.
Check that the sensor is reporting data and there are no errors.
Use the
SEND DATA
request, and check the unit status information and error bits from the
SEND DATA
response.
