 Abstract

There is only a very limited number of moments a skeleton athlete can train at a skeleton track. Therefore, it is important to train as efficiently as possible. To do so, an instrumented skeleton sled is designed that provides useful feedback. This instrumented sled is able to monitor the force exerted on the sled by the athlete and link this to the position and speed. Also, the ice temperature of the track as well as the G-forces acting on the sled are measured. This report covers the design and implementation of the temperature sensor, the power system, the PCB and the system to determine the location and velocity of the athlete which is necessary for the instrumented sled.
