Background Change of direction (CoD) is associated with performance and injury in multidirectional sports. CoD consists of different phases (initial acceleration, deceleration, and re-acceleration) ...

Acceleration, deceleration, and stopping sight distance (SSD) criteria are key factors in determining roadway geometric design requirements. These elements are influenced by variables such as grade, ...

This white paper explains test methodology for generating force versus velocity curves and the benefits of adding acceleration and deceleration ramps. The addition of ramps to a move profile can be ...

4x4 Of The Year 2009 is here at last! Watch as we test how quickly our group of competitors can get through the ¼ mile and how quickly they can stop from 60mph-0 on 4x4OTY ’09!

Motion engineers can spend hours optimizing tuning parameters in servo-based systems, and still not get the performance they want. Their time may also be wasted if, at some point in the project, they ...

If there were only two things you should measure when building a company, it would be acceleration and momentum. One could argue that these two measurements are indicators of your chances of success, ...

Our motion perception is remarkably well tuned to detect small changes in speed and direction. For example, soccer goalkeepers need to precisely judge the speed, direction, and curvature of an ...
