G-Force

These sensors are used to measure vehicle acceleration, i.e. acceleration, braking and cornering force, which are also used for drawing track maps. 3G (+/–) sensors have a measuring range adequate for normal vehicle behaviour. Peak values in accidents require larger ranges. The signals from a G-Force sensor are normally filtered to reduce high frequency noise on the readings, resulting in more accurate vehicle G-Forces. That way we are measuring actual forces on the vehicle and not vibration or engine noise.

Inertial Measurement

Inertial Measurement Units use a combination of accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers to measure G forces, angular velocity and magnetic fields. In this case, each of the three parameters is triple axis, with each axis orthogonal to the others. These IMUs have been specifically developed for motorsport.

Yaw Rate

These sensors measure angular velocity and are used to determine a car's cornering sliding speed. They are normally mounted at both ends of a car in combination with G-force sensors to determine if a car is understeering or oversteering and when it starts sliding.
