OD-FPAS
Contact patch analysis system
OD-FPAS is a combined optical and tactile measurement system. It consists from a watertight container, which will be integrated into the pavement of a test track. The container is topped with a rigid glass-plate, which is optimized to be used for orthoscopic recording or photographing of overrunning objects from underneath. The glass-plate itself is mounted in either single- or multi-component load cells to measure the actual load of an overrunning object, as long as it is in contact with the glass-plate. Multi-component load cells allow the measurement of lateral and longitudinal forces as well as the corresponding moments.
