As part of a suite of products that provide a drive thorough vehicle tyre inspection system the assessment of wheel alignment would be useful to drivers in maintaining their vehicles and reducing tyre wear.  The current method of assessing wheel alignment involves fitting equipment to the tyre and assessment within a garage environment. 

The challenge is to develop a technique that can be used in the roadway with no equipment fitted to the vehicle.  The WheelRight equipment is already capturing images of tyres from both  front and side views.  Pressure sensors in the roadway also allow a tyre pressure footprint to be created.  Using the existing data to interpret the alignment of the wheels on each axle is a preferred way forward.
