Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

All the three applications – (1) Anti Brake Locking System, (2) Traction Control System and (3) ESC System are related to measurement of inertial parameters of the vehicle and involve MEMS based sensors which perform measurements related to rate of change of momentum to monitor the stability of the automobile.

Following sensors are used in the design to monitor the various parameter of the vehicle:

  • Acceleration Sensors (for linear acceleration measurements)
  • Tilt Sensors (for angular position measurements)
  • Gyroscope (for angular velocity measurements)
