Validation of Utilizing a Self-Propelled Crash Sled to Simulate Occupant Accelerations in Minor Rear-End Impacts
A novel, electrically self-propelled, mobile, free-standing crash sled was constructed with a relatively minimal budget (i.e., ≤ $10,000). The crash sled was designed to simulate occupant driver or passenger seat movement in minor impacts at varying angles with minimal, if any, component replacement necessary between tests. Validation of the crash sled in a rear-end only configuration for determination of occupant accelerations was performed.

The Power of Data Collection
In this day and age, data collection follows us at every turn. Between computers, smartphones, and smart watches, nearly all of a person’s daily information can be recorded and tracked. While some forms of data collection are consensual and commonly known, other types of data collection occur behind the scenes and in places one might not expect.
The Power of Smartphones in the Field
In recent years, smartphones have become valuable tools for information, productivity, and communication. The cameras built into these devices have always been a major draw. These days you can enjoy incredible detail and even professional quality images with the additions of photo editing, enhanced zoom range, and lens functions. Additionally, some smartphones have a new sensor that adds depth scanning for better photos. LIDAR (“light detection and ranging”) technology works by bouncing lasers off objects to measure their distance, based on how long it takes for the light to get back to the sensor. The depth sensing is also used to improve night portrait mode effects.
