Force Sensor Matrix (128 Cells)

Mounted to a fixed barrier wall, the force sensor matrix detects the
impact load applied by the test vehicle when it collides against the barrier
wall. The matrix consists of 128 force sensors arranged in 8 columns by
16 rows to enable measurement of the load distributed on the collided
surface. The load detecting direction is vertical to the barrier wall. Each
