Hi,
I'm a civil engineering student in a summer internship at the moment but I've come across a mechanical issue. We want to buy or build a very accurate (+- 100mm) odometer for a large truck. We have a Survmaster precision odometer in there but it's only accurate to +- 1.0m which isn't good enough.
Do you have any ideas about any devices that we could build? It should be readable from the truck cab and driver should not have to come out to adjust too many things (in other words it should not be time consuming)
edit: Sorry should have mentioned it before, we're looking at that accuracy over very small distances (2-3m) and at a very slow speed. We need to be able to measure 2.7m +- .1 m.
Any ideas??
Thanks
