Brake & Tyre Testing
Brake and Tyre Testing
Due to their high precision, flexibility, and ease of installation, VBOX data loggers are used by almost every automotive and tyre manufacturer in the world to carry out brake distance measurements and for validating the accuracy of braking assist systems.
With enhancements in tyre compounds and constructions getting smaller each year, manufacturers need the ability to accurately measure changes. VBOX data loggers are easy to set up, quick to use, and can provide measurements at up to ±2 cm positional accuracy - allowing engineers to plot even the smallest improvements in performance.

Testing Indoors
How does VIPS work?
A number of fixed Ultra-Wideband (UWB) beacons are placed around the indoor test area (minimum 6), in known positions which have been manually surveyed using a handheld laser or Total Station (if time is of the essence, a self-survey can also be performed). The beacons are completely stand-alone, and can be battery powered, making the deployment very rapid..

- offering repeatable and consistent testing, for tests that require highly accurate path following.
VBOX Robot Integration
Driving robots for steering and throttle/brake control are often used in vehicle testing and development where the test procedures call for absolute consistency that a human driver cannot perform; and also in cases where the manoeuvres are not considered acceptably safe to have a driver at the wheel, or are extremely difficult to carry out (such as the Sine With Dwell element of ESC testing).
For some tests which need the vehicle to take a repeatable and highly accurate drive line – such as AEB or lane change testing - a VBOX 3i RTK is used to provide speed, heading, and positional data to the required accuracy for a driving robot to follow a predefined path.

- Open Road ADAS Testing
- Open Road ADAS testing enables you to validate the accuracy of the latest vehicle safety systems in real-world environments, and is possible using either a Moving Base setup or NTRIP solution.
Open Road ADAS Testing
Using a 'Moving Base' setup allows you to test ADAS applications on the open road. It works by linking two VBOX 3i RTK units, with the system in the subject vehicle transmitting corrections to the target vehicle at an update rate of 20 times per second.
This replaces the need to implement an RTK Base Station with a limited broadcast range, and provides engineers with the ability to test on normal roads, over reasonable distances, among other road users and roadside furniture, to under 5 cm relative positional accuracy.
