Abstract: This paper investigates the possibilities of measuring vehicle deceleration using modern devices based on GPS (Global Positioning System) and MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) technologies, with the aim of replacing traditional inertial devices. The experiments were carried out on a passenger vehicle and a construction machine, using three different measuring devices: an inertial decelerometer, a GPS device (Racelogic DriftBox) and a MEMS accelerometer. The measurement results show good mutual agreement between recorded results from devices used for this paper, with an emphasis on the precision and ease of use of modern devices. The conclusion emphasizes the justification of using GPS and MEMS devices in testing the dynamic characteristics of vehicles due to their high frequency of data acquisition, simple processing, absence of the need for calibration, and greater practicality. This research suggests that such devices will be increasingly used in the future to analyse vehicle dynamics.
