CE Designer, just copy the whole link with the [0].pdf, it's a pretty good read too. Thanks bioramani. Oh I'll just repost the link here then. #-Link-Snipped-#

I was planning on using a sensor system with a microcontroller to help take action mate. As for the distances I just need to crunch the numbers so they're not...

True.... In case of the inertia issue, I was thinking of integrating a pre braking system with an active bumper system using Aluminum foam to absorb the impact energy. Therefore...

So no one has any more ideas how to help? The shock absorber idea is too weak. The total amount of force my absorbers can withstand is 7000N where as...

I've already started drawing it. I'll post the pics once I'm done. Any ideas how to properly calculate the amount of energy absorbed by a shock absorber? I don't like...

Well I wasn't going to use Railway Shock Absorbers. They're too huge!!! What I was considering is using motorcycle shock absorbers. The size is quite feasible and if placed properly,...

I looked it up. It seems like a good idea. Quite feasible and cheap to use too. How do you suggest I use it though? Should I actuate the absorbers...

Hey CE. I'm new to the site but I've read through multiple posts and it's refreshing to find engineers helping each other out like this. I mostly see pricks here...
