Automotive Sensors
Our product range of intelligent sensors for Automotive applications comprises – among others – GPS-based systems for speed/position detection and inertial navigation, as well as 6 component wheel-force transducers and telemetry steering wheels.
Wheel-Force Transducers
|
|
|
In cooperation with US manufacturer RS Technologies CAESAR can now offer a complete family of 6-component wheel force transducers (WFT) for all vehicle sizes – from compact passenger cars up to heavy trucks. Slip-ring as well as wireless telemetry systems are available for immediate data transfer from the rotating wheel to a stationary data acquisition system like the MOPS.

Inertial-/ GPS Navigation Systems
|
|
|
QIC-INS is a family of very precise Inertial Navigation Systems aimed at measuring vehicle positioning and motion parameters, such as velocity, acceleration, orientation and angular rates. The GPS is the key to the high precision of the system (2 cm for the position, 0.05 km/h for the velocity, depending on the configuration).It provides a mechanism for preventing the Inertial Navigation System from drifting and enables errors in the inertial sensors to be corrected.

Telemetry Steering Wheel
|
|
|
The telemetry steering wheels are specially designed for experiments regarding endurance, comfort and handling by measuring steering torque, steering angle and angular speed. As an option, the steering angle acceleration and linear accelerations in all three directions on the end of the steering column can be measured – e.g. for vibration analysis. For driving experiments, the vehicle steering wheel is substituted by the measuring steering wheel with integrated sensors and electronics. Special adapter shafts, available for most vehicles, enable easy, quick and precise installation. (see also Telemetry Systems)

Speed Measuring
|
|
|
With GPS-based QIC-Speed and radar based DRS-6 two different speed measuring systems are available which avoid known disadvantages of other sensors – for instance the Peiseler wheel – by using a non-contact measuring method.

RPM Measuring
|
|
|
RPM-8000 PRO offers an innovative solution for automotive RPM measurement without the need of an additional sensor: the instrument is simply connected via a standard jack to the cigarette lighter socket and the engine speed is shown directly on the LCD.
