Abstract

This paper shows the development of a measurement system for transportation purposes based in triaxial accelerometers and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) that allow the measurement of acceleration events produced by fast driving or floor´s structures or defects as holes, speed bumps or among others and to report the geographic position where the event occurred through the GPS module. Finally, the data obtained from the vehicles, by a wireless module or SD Card files, are processed and shown in a global map using a friendly Lab VIEW™ interface.
