| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Bluewater | | City: | Owen Sound, ON | | School: | Hillcrest Elementary School | | Abstract: | The Silent Witness uses force, rotary motion and switch-voltage system sensors, an accelerometer, interface, and computer software to record what occurs during simulated collisions, using remote controlled vehicles. Extensive testing and analysis determined that the tri-axis accelerometer gave reliable, complete information about rolls, pitches, yaws and impacts. |
