Abstract :
Results from our experiments on inertial navigation in crash testing of vehicles are presented. A custom designed inertial measurement unit (IMU) has been developed, and several tests in dummy calibration rigs including full-scale Euro NCAP collisions have been performed at our partners´ crash test laboratories. For reference, the IMU data is compared to camera data and traditional single-axis inertial sensors.
