VBOX 3i is the industry standard data logger for vehicle dynamics testing, with a 100 Hz update rate, dual antennas and RTK. It can receive RTK correctional from a Base Station or NTRIP solution, to provide centimetre-level positional accuracy.

You can easily test a vehicle's ride and handling characteristics with a VBOX 3i, with highly accurate measurements of speed, position, heading, lateral g and steering angle.

Containing three accelerometers in the X, Y and Z planes, measurements from the VBOX Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) can be seamlessly blended with the GPS data from a VBOX 3i data logger.

This is useful for producing smooth and accurate data, particularly if you have a test site where the view to the sky is obstructed, such as close to bridges, tall buildings and trees.

VBOX Video data loggers provide synchronised video and data, with a user-configurable graphical overlay.

You can easily change the data that you wish to be overlaid on your video, such as pitch and roll angles for lane change testing.

The VBOX 3i is compatible with steering robots from manufacturers such as AB Dynamics and VEHICO, for tests which require precise and repeatable control.

The high torque and steering wheel speed required to perform ESC testing means that a driving robot is essential. The VBOX CAN output for speed, heading, yaw and roll rate at 100 Hz can be fed into the robot, which conducts and guides the whole test. 

The VBOX Indoor Positioning System is a reliable alternative to GNSS, that enables you to conduct ride and handling tests indoors. The system offers the same cm-level accuracy as the VBOX 3i RTK, and is ideal for high dynamic applications, thanks to a 100 Hz update rate.

VIPS integrates seamlessly with the VBOX 3i Data logger, meaning you can go between outdoor and indoor test locations with no loss of accuracy.

When it comes to understanding a vehicle's ride and handling characteristics, there are various factors that could adversely affect the results of the test.

Using a VBOX 3i, you can easily understand the effects of side winds, suspension geometry errors and deviation during braking and lane change manoeuvres, which is particularly useful for centreline deviation testing.
