High Tech Speed Bump Detects Damage to Critical Suspension Components

Researchers have developed a technology that detects damage to critical suspension
components in military vehicles simply by driving over a speed bumplike "diagnostic
cleat" containing sensors. "Our aim is to save time and maintenance
costs, but more importantly to reduce downtime by catching damage before it
leads to failure in the field".
