SOECS Senior Project Demonstration
Abstract/Artist Statement
Our project includes a data acquisition system that will measure the lateral and longitudinal forces of a vehicle once per second. A dual axis accelerometer produces pulse widths in the x and y directions which are used to calculate the g forces by a microcontroller. The g force values for each axis are stored in memory. When the system is connected to a computer the data is downloaded and graphed. This data acquisition system can be useful for any person that lends their vehicle to another individual and wants to be able to track how fast their vehicle is being driven how sharp turns are made or how fast they brake.
