A method for the diagnostic assessment of the wheel alignment of a vehicle (2) equipped with wheels (3) having tyres (301) coupled to respective rims (302), comprises the following steps: in a longitudinal movement of the vehicle (2) in a forward travel direction with one wheel (3) on a longitudinal track (4A), until the wheel (3) surmounts a measuring platform (5A) located along the track (4A), acquiring a forward travel measurement signal, representing a lateral force applied to the platform and directed transversely to both the longitudinal direction and the weight force at a forward travel instant at which the wheel surmounts the measuring platform (5A) as it moves along the track (4A) in the forward travel direction; in a longitudinal movement of the vehicle (2) in a return travel direction opposite to the forward travel direction with the wheel (3) on the track (4A), until the wheel (3) surmounts the measuring platform (5A), acquiring a return travel measurement signal, representing a lateral force applied to the platform (5A) and directed transversely at a return travel instant at which the wheel (3) surmounts the measuring platform (5A) as it moves along the track (4A) in the return travel direction; processing the forward and return measurement signals in order to determine, for the wheel (3), at least an angle of camber and/or toe.

A personal alignment tool is designed to for use in a vertical or horizontal position. The tool is generally shaped like a bed frame, which includes four legs, two cross members and a main support shaft. The frame is an ergonomically designed structure that easily mounts to the outer surface of any tire, allowing an individual to mount the tool to any vehicle.

An over actuated system capable of controlling wheel parameters, such as speed (e.g., by torque and braking), steering angles, caster angles, camber angles, and toe angles, of wheels in an associated vehicle. The system may determine the associated vehicle is in a rollover state and adjust wheel parameters to prevent vehicle rollover. Additionally, the system may determine a driving state and dynamically adjust wheel parameters to optimize driving, including, for example, cornering and parking. Such a system may also dynamically detect wheel misalignment and provide alignment and/or corrective driving solutions. Further, by utilizing degenerate solutions for driving, the system may also estimate tire-surface parameterization data for various road surfaces and make such estimates available for other vehicles via a network.

A wheel adapter for fastening on a wheel, in particular on a wheel of a motor vehicle, includes at least two arms which extend in a radial direction starting from a central area of the wheel adapter Each of the arms includes at least one movable element which is movable in the radial direction in order to vary the length of the arm in the radial direction. The movable elements of at least two arms are mechanically coupled to one another in such a way that a movement of one movable element of a first arm results in a corresponding movement of a least one movable element of a second arm.
