Wheel Force Sensor

Understanding vehicle behavior under real driving conditions is essential to optimizing the chassis and powertrain design. 
Ever-growing requirements for vehicle performance and fuel economy create many challenges for vehicle dynamics research.
The Wheel force Sensor (WFS), part of A&D’s Vehicle Measurement System, can perform high-accuracy real-time measurement
of forces (Fx, Fy, Fz) and moments (Mx, My, Mz) acting on the wheel hub under dynamic conditions. 
The WFS uses distributed force measurement and model-based decomposition in the digital signal processor (DSP) for obtaining
individual force and moment components. This method provides extremely low cross-sensitivity, interference and temperature 
sensitivity, while maintaining a high sampling rate. In addition to providing high accuracy and response rate, the WFS is also
capable of compensating for tire uniformity characteristics in real time to provide the ultimate force and torque measurement.
The WFS Wheel Force Sensor measures the six-component forces of a vehicle in dynamic conditions.
