Banebrytende kjøretøysikkerhet fra 3D-kraftmåling på hjul med fiberoptiske sensorer

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Measuring the forces acting on a rotating wheel, in 3D and in real time, can revolutionise future vehicle safety systems. The current state of the art in commercially available vehicle sensors uses approximation and modelling to estimate forces at the wheel. Rollsense will measure force directly at the centre of a rotating wheel, and thus give an accurate picture of all forces currently acting upon it. Through completely new analysis of experimental prototype data, brand new methods of converting optical sensor data to 3D force information will be developed. The project will use physical modelling and machine learning to analyse existing experimental prototype data. The resulting technology has huge commercial potential for vehicle safety and optimising operations. The sensors have applications in vastly improving ABS and other ADAS technologies, enabling detailed real-time analysis of vehicle load distribution while in-motion, and optimisation rotating accessories such as brushes.
