*The above threshold settings are estimates and should be used as a starting point. We’ve done the research for you and here are some recommended default thresholds (in g-force) based on types of vehicles by weight class*:
G force definition pro#
Pro and Enterprise Only: Still unsure about what g-force is? See the How Do I Detect A Crash? article. >25g means probable death or serious injury.45g (Think of your average NYC cab driver). DOT defines harsh (not dangerous) braking as.A high performance sports car jamming 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, only reaches 1.5g.
Formula One cars during extreme braking maneuvers reach 5g. Top fuel dragsters reach an average of 4g. Decent rollercoasters reach between 3-6g. Here are some real-world g-force examples: The measurement involves location, speed, and time. Acceleration is the increase in rate of velocity/speed deceleration is the decrease of rate of velocity/speed. The following thresholds can be applied to PNP-3000 devices by utilizing the Device Configuration Page in the Portal:ĭefinition: G-force, (“G” as in gravitational) is not really a force it is a felt weight based on acceleration or deceleration. Did this just get complicated? Not for you! We are here to help! Sounds simple enough, right? But wait! You have a range of vehicles, so uniform thresholds cannot be applied to the entire fleet. Measure what matters to you and your fleet by configuring thresholds on your devices. Identifying the data you want to track is a pivotal step in creating and maintaining a fleet safety program that works for your fleet.
