Abstract: The invention relates to a method for testing an interaction point of vehicle components such as bushings or joints by means of a vehicle test apparatus (1), wherein the vehicle test apparatus (1) comprises a test apparatus control unit (2), at least one vehicle wheel support (3) movable in a horizontal plane, and means for monitoring (4) bushings or joints. The vehicle wheel support (3) and the means for monitoring (4) are controllable by means of the test apparatus control unit (2). The method comprises the step of: determining interaction point of vehicle components such as bushing or joints to be tested, and the following steps performed by means of the test apparatus control unit (2); selecting testing sequence based on determined interaction point of vehicle components such as bushing or joint to be tested, controlling movement of the vehicle wheel support (3) in at least a first direction in the horizontal plane according to the selected testing sequence, monitoring interaction point of vehicle components such as bushing or joint behaviour by means of the means for monitoring (4), and collecting measurement data from the means for monitoring (4). The invention also relates to a vehicle test apparatus (1) configured to executed the method of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to an engine oil system (1, 1′, 101) for supplying oil to oil using components (3) in a vehicle (800). The engine oil system comprises an oil pan (10) for holding oil received from the oil using components, an oil pump (20) fluidly connected to the oil pan for pumping oil from the oil pan to the oil using components, and an oil filter (30, 30′ 130) configured for cleaning the oil. The oil filter has a filter inlet (32, 32′, 132) for receiving oil to be cleaned, and a filter outlet (34, 34′ 134) for discharging oil from the oil filter. The oil filter is arranged in the oil pan such that, in use, the filter outlet discharges oil into the oil pan.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for maintenance of a vehicle, comprising—determining (S2, S8) the position, in a fixed coordinate system, of at least one first part (2011, 4, 3011) of a vehicle,—characterized by determining (S3) the identity of the vehicle,—retrieving (S4, S10), by means of the vehicle identity, spatial data indicating how a second part (202, 2011, 4) of the vehicle is spatially related to the first part (201), and—determining (S8, S11) the position, in the fixed coordinate system, of the second part (202, 2011, 4) based at least partly on the first part position and the spatial data.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the operation of a sensor is provided. The method comprises the step of representing the operation of the sensor by: i) storing a plurality of data values, each data value corresponding to the sensor output signal, wherein said step is performed during a time period such that said data values are distributed over a range of possible data values, ii) defining a plurality of discrete intervals within said range of possible data values; and iii) calculating the frequency of the data values within each interval thus forming a sensor representation. The method further comprises the steps of receiving at least one reference sensor representation; and comparing said sensor representation with said at least one reference sensor representation.
