100Hz Dual antenna GPS system now with 2cm position accuracy

June 25, 2012 - PRLog -- 100Hz Dual antenna GPS system now with 2cm position accuracy
New accuracy upgrade for VBOX3i dual antenna allows a wider range of tests to be performed
Increasingly, improvements in vehicle performance are tied with the need to satisfy the demand for safer motoring. Manufacturers have to develop and test a greater number of vehicle enhancements and safety features, and their engineers need an accurate and practical method to verify performance.
Racelogic’s 100Hz VBOX3i dual antenna – VB3iSL - is already used by many OEMs in a wide variety of vehicle test applications, but with the addition of a 2cm RTK upgrade, the new VB3iSL-RTK can be used in a much greater number of scenarios.
For example, the VB3iSL-RTK is ideal for validating the latest breed of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS):
•   Adaptive cruise control
•   Lane departure warning
•   Collision mitagtion
•   Blind spot detection


Combined with a Racelogic BaseStation, the VB3iSL-RTK measures speed, position, acceleration, distance, slip angle and vehicle pitch/roll angle to a very high degree of accuracy.

Racelogic’s Managing Director Julian Thomas said: “The VB3iSL was incredibly popular from the day it was first launched, and with the addition of  2cm RTK positioning, it has become an even more useful tool for the busy test engineer, who can now perform a whole variety of tests with just one setup.”

VB3iSL-RTK comes with an external VBOX Manager to give users control over the setup of the twin antennas. An easy to fit roof mounting pole is supplied to ensure accuracy by maintaining an optimum antenna separation.
