Abstract
The use of sensors in monitoring of lateral accelerations in delivery van transport focuses on measuring lateral accelerations on routes with roundabouts and curves to increase road safety. Using microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensors, it measures the lateral accelerations acting on the vehicle and the load being transported during the test drives to study vehicle dynamics for cargo securing. Using an accelerometer and position tracking, accelerations can be detected when traversing curves and roundabouts at selected locations on the vehicle. The level of accelerations on the roof of the vehicle was found to be like those occurring on a lashed load with limited movements, where regression analysis can be used to determine the relationship between lateral accelerations at different sensor positions. If we compare the mean values of the lateral accelerations of the individual events between the sensors, the sensor on the side of the vehicle body at the height of the sensor on the load had approximately 5% lower mean values than the sensor on the roof. The sensor on the load measured approximately 5% higher mean values than the sensor on the roof. Hence, the mean lateral accelerations of the individual events for the sensor on the load are 10% higher than for the sensor at the same height on the vehicle body. From the above testing, we can say that the values of the mean lateral accelerations of the van from the sensor on the roof of the vehicle, are closer to the values of the accelerations of the sensor on the load than to the values of the sensor on the body of the vehicle at the same height.
