Sensor Selection

  1. Accelerometer
    • Sensor data = acceleration in m/s^2
  2. Pizoelectric Sensor
    • Sensor data = shock"
    • It measures [ressure, acceleration, temperature, strain, or force by converting to an electrical charge

3. Other Sensors

    • To be integrated after Proof of Concept

Microcontroller Selection

  1. Arduino

Complete Sensor Suite - phase 2 Working Prototype

  • Raspberry Pi 3
  • Force Sensing Resistor
  • GPS Module
  • 3 Axis Accelerometer


Next steps: Moving all sensors to smaller breadboard after algorithm communication verification
