Abstract :
A low-cost, portable and easy to use measuring system for the diagnosis of worn automotive dampers is proposed. The system is composed by two wireless sensing nodes equipped with MEMS accelerometers. The aim is to provide a measuring system which will yield comparable metrological performances, at a much lower cost than pre-existing systems.
