Test and validate AEB / FCW systems in accordance with NCAP & NHTSA standards
Euro NCAP Autonomous Emergency Braking testing- ISO 15623 Forward Collision Warning System testing
- NHTSA Forward Collision Warning System testing
- 2 cm position accuracy indoors and outdoors
NCAP-compliant
The VBOX 3i ADAS offers Euro NCAP-compliant logging rates (100 Hz) and a positional accuracy of less than 2 cm, when used with an RTK Base Station or NTRIP device.
Robot Integration
VBOX equipment can be used with Anthony Best Dynamics and VEHICO driving robots, to achieve the necessary level of consistency for NCAP approval.
Indoor / Outdoor Testing
We offer a complete solution for testing your AEB / FCW system both indoors and outdoors, with 2 cm accuracy.
Real-time Feedback
VBOX Test Suite installed on a Windows device within the test vehicle offers real-time display of all measured parameters including the speed, yaw rate, longitudinal and lateral range, as well as pass/fail feedback.
Video Integration
You can use a VBOX video logger to simultaneously record and display data and video footage. This gives you an exact comparison between relative vehicle position and onboard strategy data.
Dedicated Software
VBOX Test Suite is free to all VBOX users, available in ten different languages and pre-installed with a dedicated AEB plugin for Euro NCAP testing.
Our user-friendly, intuitive data analysis software makes the process of recording and analysing your test data as quick and easy as possible.
A dedicated AEB plugin includes all three types of Euro NCAP testing scenarios: car-to-car rear stationary, car-to-car rear moving, and car-to-car rear braking (CCRs, CCRm, CCRb).
The NCAP protocol’s test parameters for AEB are hard-coded into the VBOX Test Suite software, and all the relevant channels are automatically created and logged during a test: subject and target vehicle speeds, relative distances between them, lateral deviation, yaw and steering wheel velocity. For each run, you can clearly see whether each test condition is within tolerance, and a pass/fail status for the test as a whole.
This level of automation results in a significant reduction in post-processing work as well as the time already saved on track. A comprehensive report can be generated at the end of the test, providing all session information and results for post-test analysis.
RTK for 2 cm Positional Accuracy
The VBOX 3i ADAS data logger offers Euro NCAP-compliant logging rates (100 Hz) and a positional accuracy of less than 2 cm, when using RTK correctional data from a Base Station or NTRIP solution.
Robot Integration
Meeting the Euro NCAP standards successfully requires the use of steering and pedal robots to maintain accurate conditions for speed, drive line, distance and braking as laid out in the test requirements.
VBOX equipment can be used with driving robots from NCAP approved manufacturers such as Anthony Best Dynamics, to achieve the necessary level of consistency required when conducting such tests.
Logging Warning Signals
If you cannot use the vehicles' own CAN system, VBOX audio & visual sensors can be used alongside VBOX to record when an ADAS system has become active. The sensors capture acoustic and/or optical alerts generated by the vehicle's advanced driver assistance system.
The output of the VBOX sensors can then be used by the VBOX to log the exact moment the vehicle safety message is displayed to the driver.
Video Integration
If the vehicle carries the AEB operation data on its CAN Bus, you can use a VBOX video logger to simultaneously log and display the data and video alongside that of the GPS data. This gives you an exact comparison between relative vehicle position and onboard strategy data.
Graphical overlay is totally user configurable and can be easily altered to present relevant information according to the tests being conducted.
AEB Testing Indoors
If you need to validate the accuracy of your AEB or FCW system indoors, the VBOX Indoor Positioning System (VIPS) is the reliable alternative to GPS.
Using the latest Ultra-Wideband technology, VIPS provides you with RTK levels of accuracy and an update rate of 100 Hz, making it ideal to test many Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and robot-controlled applications.
Survey Pole for Vehicle Mapping
You can ‘map’ the shape of vehicles using a survey pole, antenna, and VBOX Setup. Up to twenty-four points around the vehicle bodies can be surveyed, and the ‘shape’ of each car can be stored for later use. As the test is conducted, the distance of the closest contact points between the vehicles is calculated to +/-2 cm accuracy, automatically switching to the nearest contact points as they change with the car’s relative positions.
