Abstract
A system for measuring the lateral acceleration of a vehicle. The system includes an accelerometer that measures the lateral gravitational forces, an annunciator that announces the changes in the lateral gravitation forces, a data logging for storing the measured changes and the relative times and a controller. This system is particularly useful for training for performance driving such as racecar drivers and law enforcement drivers.
