VEHICLE AND METHOD OF MEASURING A ROAD LAMP FOR A VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B60G17/18 B60G17/16 G01D5/14 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to the system of measuring ground clearance. Vehicle has a ride-height measurement system containing an electromagnetic source, a magnetometer and a controller. Electromagnetic source is configured to generate a magnetic field at a predetermined frequency. Magnetometer is designed to measure the magnetic field strength. Controller is configured to filter the measurements of the magnetometer at a given frequency to extract a deviation of the magnetic field strength associated with the electromagnetic source, and determining the change in vehicle ground clearance.

EFFECT: increase in the accuracy of determining the vehicle's ground clearance is achieved.
