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)
