For evaluating stability, measurements of the lateral force and vertical load on the wheel are required. The former is measured with the load cell and the latter by measuring spring deflections using a linear variable differential transformer. For determining riding quality, average ride index is calculated and acceleration is measured using a seismic accelerometer. Electrical signals generated by transducer in the range of microvolts are amplified and recorded in ink on paper.
