Telemetry Sensor Suite for Post-Processing Simulation of Off-Road Racing Vehicle

Our objective was to utilize a suite of sensors to record and analyze operational data from an off road racing vehicle. The telemetry system consists of Internal Measurement Units (IMUs), a Global Positioning System (GPS) chip, Hall-Effect Sensors, Pedal Angle and Position Sensors, pressure transducers, and infrared (IR) sensors for both distance and temperature. The system used a parallelized conjunction of Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C), Special Peripheral Interface (SPI), and Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) communication protocols. Data was recorded in real-time, written to an SD card locally, and wirelessly transmitted via IEEE 802.15.4 networking protocol to a remote device. Post-race, this data was used to construct a robust simulation in blender, showing the status of critical vehicle systems over time.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
