Image generated with OpenAI’s DALL·E. The Research Starting Point I'm an electrical and computer engineer based in Vienna, Austria, with over 18 years of direct experience in the design, firmware development, and field deployment of brake force measurement systems in officially regulated vehicle inspection environments. Over the course of that work, I accumulated hands-on experience across a wide range of real-world installations - systems of different ages, different mechani

A behind-the-scenes look at brake testing and the critical role of Roller Brake Testers. A Roller Brake Tester is a specialized diagnostic device used primarily in vehicle inspection stations and service garages to assess the braking performance of motor vehicles. It is a crucial part of periodic technical inspections in many countries. Image generated with OpenAI’s DALL·E. How Does It Work? The tester consists of two or more motorized rollers that the vehicle’s wheels sit on

From analog signals to actionable data - a closer look at DAQ systems. DAQ, short for Data Acquisition, refers to the process of collecting, measuring, and analyzing physical signals from the real world and converting them into digital data that can be used by a computer or microcontroller. It’s a cornerstone technology in engineering, automation, scientific research, and embedded systems. Image generated with OpenAI’s DALL·E. What Does a DAQ System Do? At its core, a DAQ sys
