A manufacturer of GPS locating systems for golf carts needed a
back-up system to provide dead-reckoning location for those
times when the GPS system’s view of the sky was obscured by trees.
|
|
Cherry designed a magnetic speed & direction sensor and a specialized
magnetic target mounted inside the wheel of the golf cart to
provide precise information regarding the distance and direction of
travel experience by the vehicle since the time of the last satellite signal.

For this custom solution, Cherry
employed the following capabilities:
• Magnetic modeling
• Electronic circuit protection for noisy
environments
• Encapsulation of electronics for
protection against weather and
chemicals
