construction industry, emergency response teams, security forces, as well as many sports at all levels. This_x000D_
project aims at the development of a sensor system designed to evaluate the performance of protective_x000D_
equipment against shocks and impacts and as a result to improve their efficiency. The sensor array will_x000D_
measure how much of the impact gets transferred across the protective equipment over multiple points and_x000D_
allow engineers and biomedical scientists to calculate residual forces reaching the body. Our industrial partner_x000D_
in the project has already successfully commercialized products for this purpose but they are interested in_x000D_
evaluating a fiber optic solution that would be smaller and lighter, that would allow for more simultaneous_x000D_
sensor points and higher detection speed, and at the same time potentially less expensive., program purpose french : Personal injury from head trauma is a frequent occurrence in many sectors of activity, including the_x000D_
