Detection of physical stresses on the human body in amusement rides

Frau auf Achterbahn mit Brustgurt zur Messung physischer Belastungen auf den menschlichen Körper in Fahrgeschäftemn

Objective

  • Determination of forces and accelerations acting on the human body on amusement rides in order to be able to offer visitors with disabilities an extended and improved experience
  • Adhoc measurements at attractions to detect possible changes in ride behavior at an early stage

Client

Europa-Park GmbH & Co Mack KG

Project period

in operation since 2021

Challenges

  • Short-term and safe measurements during active operation of the amusement ride
  • Risk-free attachment of the sensor to the human body
  • High robustness against dynamic loads, magnetic fields, splash water and weather influences

Realization

  • Wireless nemione measurement system based on the compact accelerometer nemi G+ and data logger nemi Log
  • Temporary fixed mounting of the data logger to the vehicle
  • Flexible mounting of the acceleration sensor at various measuring points on the vehicle or at different positions in the seat area and on the human body employing a chest strap
  • Sensor and data logger battery-operated and rechargeable via USB interface
  • Transmission of the measurement data via radio technology nemi Link 2400 (2.4 GHz frequency band) from the sensor to the data logger
  • Data storage via SD card (inside logger)

Advantages

  • Simple, fast and flexible assembly / disassembly of the measurement setup with compact and lightweight components
  • Uncomplicated handling thanks to completely wireless measurement technology
  • Long battery life: Execution of longer measurement series to record changes in driving behavior over the operating time
  • Reliable recording of all relevant data and uncomplicated file transfer; thus fast evaluation of the data already on site and possibility to adjust the measurement procedures
  • Versatile further processing of the measurement data through storage in standard format (csv)
