Undergrad Measuring angles using accelerometers
That's really ok.. :) Say if I can get some accurate data with minimum noise with proper filtering.. The problem of the method you are suggesting is that we do not have a method of calculating the radius of curvature R. Also say the vehicle is moving on a straight line at a constant speed. If...- chammidhan

Undergrad Measuring angles using accelerometers
Thank you for the correction of terms.. :) Yes it should be speed. So in the example above, assuming we have the accelerometer in line with the vehicle as you mentioned, would I be able to obtain the angular rate by integrating the side-side acceleration component? What's the relationship...- chammidhan

Undergrad Measuring angles using accelerometers
Thanks a bunch for the reply. But i didn't quite get you. Assume the plane parallel to the Earth surface is the x-y plane. The vehicle is moving on the y direction and it goes on a bend which is a quarter of a circle and now travels in x direction. If we assume the velocity is constant, and that...- chammidhan

Undergrad Measuring angles using accelerometers
Hi.. am doing a project to plot the path of a moving vehicle in a coordinate system using accelerometers. To do this, I need to measure the angle that the vehicle rotates when it's going on a road. (Note this is not the tilt) Does anyone know if and how I can do this using only accelerometers...- chammidhan
