Title:

    Car tracking and vibration test rig using Neo-Freerunner

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    Here we present our idea of using a cell-phone (the Neo Freerunner) for tracking a Car’s location using GPS and measuring the road’s quality using the accelerometer in the cell-phone. Neo-Freerunner is an open source Linux phone by Open Moko Inc. The phone can run many flavors of linux like Android, Qt, SHR etc. Here the implementation was done in SHR.
