The IMT40 isdesigned for measuring all details of rapid, violent motions. Themotion tracker is completely based on MEMS components, which results insmall size, ruggedness, shock tolerance, and cost effectiveness. Thesystem is built around the proven Imego digital Butterfly Gyroscope(IBG20). IMT40 consists of a small IMU (InertialMeasurement Unit), a communication unit (that also can store data), andPC software (for calculations and data display). The navigated datainclude position/velocity/ac
celeration and attitude/angularrate
/angular acceleration. The time signal can be synchronized by usingan external trigger. IMT40 was primarily intended forstudies of crash test dummy motion during a car crash. It allows carmanufactures to obtain previously unavailable data, which will assistthem in decreasing the risk of injury during a car crash. However, themotion tracker also provides an easy way of measuring many other typesof rapid motions without any need for external reference systems, suchas cameras.
