Ballbank vs TES Cloud

Improving roadway safety, one curve at a time. Designed with precision, easy to use, and beautifully crafted, Ballbank is a digital inclinometer used for determining advisory speeds for horizontal roadway curves. It measures, in degrees, the combined effect of superelevation, vehicle roll, and lateral acceleration. For decades, the ball bank indicator method is one of the most commonly used methods by engineers worldwide for determining driver discomfort that correlates to setting the advisory speed. Setup your phone on your dashboard like you would typically setup a ball bank device. Press Start and drive. No need for a second person to write down the results. Ballbank records all of the data that you need and saves it as a video directly to the Photos app. The raw data, including all of the curve data results, is saved as a text file. The text file can be exported and emailed. Ballbank not only shows you the continuous angle reading and speed, but calculates the maximum smooth angle, average speed, and lateral g force for every curve. Linear distance, lat/long, altitude, date, and time are all recorded too. The map makes it easy to see exactly where all of the data was collected. Ballbank records the video of your drive, which allows you to evaluate the driver performance on every curve, document all of the existing signs, assess the site safety, and verify pavement conditions that could impact the results of your testing. Both Imperial and Metric units are supported.
