Formula 1 Caliper & Brake Test Dynamometer for AP Racing Ltd

AP Racing required a new type of Dynamometer which could match the high speed and acceleration rates achieved by Formula 1 cars. Also of importance was a design which could carry out these tests within the actual sections of car’s standard wheel and suspension assembly, mimicking the airflow through ducting and around the brake. AP Racing Selected Computer Controlled Solutions Ltd for the software and electronics control system based on our experience in this field and the number of successful test machines previously provided and maintained for AP Racing.

Energy Saving Hydraulic Pump Controller for Formula 1 Racing Team

In August 2002 Computer Controlled Solutions were commissioned by a leading Formula one team to design and produce a PC based Hydraulic Pump Controller. The main focus of this software was to make very significant energy savings by only running the Hydraulic pumps required to maintain the current demand. Since commissioning, this software has paid for itself many times by making huge energy savings in an ever increasingly energy expensive environment.

RailWise Rail Fault Prediction and Logging

CCS Teamed up with the University of Birmingham to investigate methods of fault prediction using network based data acquisition.
The result was a high speed 2 wire system which dramatically cuts down installation and wiring. Using the WorldFipTM fieldbus network deterministic data was retrieved from remote nodes monitoring points, level crossings, signals, track circuits and voids. Read more about the Railwise system>>>

Bentley Motors in vehicle data acquisition

Bentley Motors Ltd. required an acquisition system to analyze ECU signals synchronised with electrical measurements to prove out two areas of development in the release of the next luxury vehicle.
Computer Controlled Solutions Limited developed a modular system providing high channel capacities, acquisition rates and synchronisation of Analogue, HS CAN, LS CAN and LIN data with a very simple configuration screen at a low market cost. Read more about the CCS Daquire Rio system
