In motorsport, every detail matters—whether it’s in vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, or the development of autonomous systems. With the OMS Race Sensor, you have a powerful tool at your disposal, providing the data you need for a successful season.
OMS Race: Cutting-Edge Technology That Inspires
The OMS Race Sensor is a state-of-the-art optical-inertial measurement system specifically designed to precisely capture dynamic driving parameters such as speed, acceleration (X/Y/Z), as well as slip, pitch, and roll angles. Its optical system excels particularly in measuring the drift angle, achieving an unprecedented accuracy of 0.1°.
Building on the proven technology of the OMS 7, the OMS Race Sensor has been optimized for enhanced versatility and performance. Its FIA certification and use by Formula 1 teams as well as numerous Formula Student teams across Europe underscore its unmatched precision and reliability.
Versatile Applications of the OMS Race Sensor
- Control Systems Development
The OMS Race Sensor provides precise measurements of longitudinal and lateral accelerations in the vehicle’s coordinate system. These data are crucial for calculating slip angle and tire slip angles—essential for developing advanced traction control and torque-vectoring systems. - Vehicle Dynamics Validation
The sensor aids in validating the behavior of chassis components, verifying whether target specifications for vehicle roll and pitch behavior are met during dynamic maneuvers. - Driverless System Optimization
In autonomous systems, the OMS Race Sensor plays a critical role. Precise speed measurements are essential to push the vehicle to its performance limits and to optimize Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms. With a sampling rate of 1 kHz, the sensor enables control systems to receive data almost instantaneously. - Aerodynamic Analysis
Mounted on the chassis, the sensor allows direct correlation of vehicle movements (pitch and roll) with the angle of attack of aerodynamic wings. This provides teams with valuable insights for optimizing aerodynamic performance. - Brake Testing
The OMS Race Sensor is also ideal for brake testing, delivering precise measurements of deceleration rates, enabling teams to evaluate braking performance and optimize system settings.
