First Claim
Patent Images
1. A measuring device for vehicles, in particular for motor vehicles, the device comprising:
- a housing having a keyboard for interfacing with the device and a display unit; and
a control unit arranged in the housing to receive measured values from at least one external sensor and for analyzing the measured values, wherein a negative acceleration of a vehicle is measured by an acceleration sensor, wherein an acceleration component is supplied by said acceleration sensor, wherein error in said acceleration component is modified by means of a separate angle sensor for measuring the pitching or rolling angle change of the vehicle during the negative acceleration and wherein said error occurs due to influences of acceleration due to gravity.
