Impact analysed on screen

30 April 2013

Viewers of Bang Goes the Theory will be able to see the impact forces on the human body during a car crash analysed using Tekscan’s Body Pressure Measurement System (BPMS)

The BPMS was used in a low speed crash test to determine if rear-facing seats in an automobile are safer than those facing the front.  The Tekscan sensor is placed in between the presenter and the car seat.  The sensor measures the difference in force and pressure put on his body, when riding forwards versus riding backwards, while crashing into a pole. 

Tekscan sensors and systems have been used in various applications in the industrial, medical and dental fields.  Products range from simple force sensors to complete pressure measurement systems capable of sensing over 100,000 points.
