Abstract

The Laboratoire d’Electronique et de Technologies de l’Information (LETI), Grenoble, France, in cooperation with Michelin Technology Centre has developed a high-performance speed sensor prototype dedicated to tests in Formula 1 (F1) car races. The challenge was to obtain a highly accurate and real-time sensor that is able to operate on wet surfaces and to calculate both the speed and the slip angle. An optical solution based on a correlation principle was adopted. Three prototypes have been developed and tested.
