Abstract
A device for detecting a profile depth and/or a profile type of a vehicle tire has a profile-measuring device, a camera system for detecting the vehicle, an evaluating unit, which couples the profile-measuring device and the camera system to one another; and further having at least one of the components: a speed-measuring device for detecting the vehicle speed; a direction of travel-measuring device for detecting the steering situation or movement direction of the vehicle, wherein the evaluating unit is designed to produce a measuring signal for the current acceleration of the vehicle and the control is designed to permit an evaluation only when the vehicle is situated in a preset frame at a relatively uniform speed; and wherein a measuring signal for the movement direction of the vehicle can be produced by the evaluating unit and the measuring signal is provided for control of the evaluation of the profile measurement and the control is designed to permit an evaluation only when the vehicle is situated in a preset frame when traveling in a straight line.

38. Device for detecting a profile depth and/or a profile type of a profile of a vehicle tire on one vehicle of several vehicles moved to the device during travel, in particular in flowing traffic, said device having:
-
a profile-measuring device; a camera system for detecting the vehicle; an evaluating unit, which couples the profile-measuring device and the camera system to one another; a speed-measuring device for detecting vehicle speed; a direction of travel-measuring device for detecting a steering situation or movement direction of the vehicle, wherein the evaluating unit produces a measuring signal for a current acceleration of the vehicle and a control permits an evaluation for the one of several vehicles only when the vehicle is situated in a preset frame at a relatively uniform speed; and a measuring signal for the movement direction of the vehicle being produced by the evaluating unit and the measuring signal and being provided for control of the evaluation of the profile measurement and the control being designed to permit an evaluation for the one of several vehicles only when the vehicle is situated in a preset frame when traveling in a straight line. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75)
