Abstract
Technology is ever advancing in the world around us, and it is no different when it comes to data acquisition systems used in accident reconstruction. In 2016, the SAE publication “Data Acquisition Using Smart Phone Applications,” Neale et al. evaluated the accuracy of basic fitness applications in tracking position within the smart phone itself [1]. In 2018, a follow up publication “Mid-Range Data Acquisition Units Using GPS and Accelerometers” tested the Harry’s Lap TimerTM application for use in smart phones and compared the data to the Race Logic VBOX [2]. In this paper, another data acquisition system, the MoTeC C185, was tested. The MoTeC C185 data logger contains an internal 3-axis accelerometer and was also equipped with an external Syvecs 50Hz GPS Module with 6-axis accelerometer. A test vehicle was instrumented with the MoTeC C185, Race Logic VBOX, and Harry’s Lap TimerTM. Data collected by the MoTeC C185 was then compared to data collected by the other acquisition systems to validate the capabilities of the MoTeC C185. The purpose of this paper is to validate the MoTeC data acquisition system to provide an alternative for use in the field of accident reconstruction.
