SOLID STATE DATA ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING SYSTEM (SSDAPS), VOLUME I: SYSTEM SUMMARY. VOLUME II: DESCRIPTION, OPERATION, AND VERIFICATION TEST REPORT

A portable data acquisition and analysis system is described. The system is designed for studies of vehicle dynamics, braking, and driver behavior. As such it consists of a full complement of instrumentation sensors; data acquisition and signal conditioning modules; 62 channel FM/VHF digital telemetry (46 active at this time); and base station with PDP-11 minicomputer, teletype, and digital magnetic tape drive. Several unique features include onboard computations of sideslip velocity and lateral position, road referenced accelerations, and drive line torque, plus an interactive driver display panel.
