Sensor-based assessment of road quality increases productivity and reduces costs

Vehicle optimization according to road condition
"The basic idea is simple," says Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Benedikt Mundl, engineer for measurement technology and durability at monalysis, a spin-off from Kempten University of Applied Sciences. "Innovative manufacturers such as MAN offer a broad portfolio of trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles for use in the most diverse parts of the world and areas of application. Road types, road and environmental conditions vary greatly. They therefore want to know how the local conditions - and the excitations they trigger and the stresses and strains they introduce into the vehicle - affect their products and components."
