Cornering
When the vehicle is cornering, the upper sections
of the legs are bent by the Coriolis force for as
long as the vehicle takes to negotiate the corner.
A voltage is produced in the upper piezoele-
ments of the angle of turn sensor.
The level of this voltage is dependent on the
change in direction of travel.
When negotiating a corner from left to right, for
example, the sign before the voltage changes.
The angle of turn sensor only detects the angle of a single change of direction
The vehicle must be moving before a curve radius can be calculated.
Only then is the navigation control unit able to calculate the curve radius and
perform map matching using the data produced by the angle of turn sensor
and the ABS wheel speed sensor.
Straight-line travel
No Coriolis force occurs when the vehicle is dri-
ving in a straight line.
The upper parts of the legs are not bent and no
voltage is generated in the piezoelements.
