Customer owned and operated vehicles are instrumented to measure loads, temperatures, accelerations, speeds, strains, pressures and other parameters. The instrumentation is designed to withstand unattended operation in vehicles in the field for up to 3 years. We can provide correlation analysis of lab test procedures to field usage and lab test failures versus field failures. We also provide services to collect test information from field vehicles. |

Road Profiler Vehicle
|
In this application, lasers and accelerometers mounted on a 'wing' combined with an onboard gyroscope and PC-based data acquisition system allow a road profile to be generated. This profile is then used in the analysis of ABS test data to determine the effects of differing road conditions. |
Megadac Rental
Megadac high speed digital data systems are available for rent from Michigan Scientific on a monthly basis. The Megadac data system can record up to 40 channels of data at a combined rate of 250,000 samples/second. |

Anti-lock Control System Evaluation
 |
In addition to our standard wheel torque transducers, Michigan Scientific manufactures custom torque transducers with load ratings up to 12,000 lb for medium and heavy duty trucks. They are used to evaluate brake efficiency and the performance of anti-lock control systems. |
