EPA – Ear Plug Accelerometer is the best possible solution to analyze the decelerations suffered by the human brain.
Advanced three-axis accelerometers are inserted into the driver's ear channels so as to obtain the most precise acceleration data possible.
3D models can be created based on the Information of the head movement of a driver during an accident.
These are essential for Safety improvements and design of new technologies for reducing brain concussion.
“It was the footage from that, along with on-board data recorders and in-ear accelerometers, that have offered an unprecedented insight into what happened.”
Jonathan Noble, 2016 talking about Alonso crash in Melbourne 2016
