Bob-biing along very nicely

Bromley Technologies from Catcliffe is to provide expert analysis of the Whistler Olympic Sliding Centre Track in Canada. The study will be the first of its kind in the world of sliding sports.

 It will include a three-dimensional scan of the track, trajectory modeling, a design audit, safety audit and retrospective study of in-track incidents.

Bromley Technologies’ engineers will simulate the sliding path of sleds for all sliding disciplines including Bobsleigh, Luge and Skeleton down the one mile Whistler track. Bromley Technologies was chosen to be part of the project due to its applied understanding of the dynamics involved in the sliding sports, including sled technology, sport physics, virtual performance analysis, data acquisition and athlete driving/coaching.

Said Richard Bromley, the Structural Dynamics and Systems Director: “This project is a major milestone for the Bobsleigh sports.

“It is a pro-active programme aimed at enhancing the safety for all the sport’s athletes. We are delighted to be recognised as a world leader in our field and given the opportunity to be part of this project.”
