The shaded entries in table 5 represent SIDH3 data channels. The displacement transducer malfunctioned during test preparation and was omitted before the test.

Table 6 contains the three-dimensional location of each vehicle sensor. The origin for these measurements was the right- front wheel hub. The hub was 370 mm above ground.

The coordinate system used for the sensor location measurements and transducer polarity was as follows:

 
  • X-axis        Front to rear of vehicle, longitudinal centerline. Positive direction toward the front end.

  • Y-axis        Laterally door to door. Positive direction toward driver door.

  • Z-axis        Floor to roof. Positive upwards out of roof.
