Abstract :
The paper presents the preliminary results of the characterization phase of the speed and proximity measurement systems, intended to be integrated in a Wireless Active Guardrail System (WAGS). The main aim of the work is to validate the data acquisition functionalities of the proposed measurement systems in laboratory conditions by assessing the contribution to the measurement uncertainty of the signal conditioning hardware, as well as of the software procedures.
