Vehicle Performance Testing
VBOX systems are the industry standard for measuring speed and position, and are often used for validating test results in world record attempts.
Speed sensors and data loggers for all budgets- Update rates from 10 to 100 Hz
- Accurately measure speed, position and distance
- Acceleration, deceleration and benchmarking
- See your results in real-time
Acceleration Testing
Our compact and portable data loggers make it easy to test a vehicle's acceleration over a set distance or time, such as 0-60 mph or over a quarter mile, with real-time feedback.
Deceleration Testing
Easily test how quickly your vehicle decelerates between certain speeds or to a standstill. VBOX data loggers enable you to conduct speed-to-speed and trigger activated deceleration tests.
Ideal for Benchmarking
VBOX data loggers can be easily moved from car to car and accurately decode information from numerous OEM CAN bus protocols, thanks to our free library of vehicle CAN (.ref) files.
Video Integration
VBOX video loggers provide synchronised video and data, with real-time graphical overlay. Up to four cameras can be mounted inside or outside the vehicle, so you can understand its exact behaviour.
Live Display
Test results can be seen live from the vehicle, either on a PC or tablet using VBOX Test Suite, on the data loggers' internal screen, or using an additional VBOX colour touchscreen display.
World Record Verification
VBOX data loggers are often used in Guinness World Record attempts, and have been used to validate the world's longest drift in an electric vehicle, as well as the fastest slalom and acceleration runs.
VBOX Test Suite
Our user-friendly, intuitive data analysis software makes the process of recording and analysing your performance test data as quick and easy as possible.
It is available in ten different languages and can be installed on Windows computers or tablets, offering a great solution for real-time testing.
There are dedicated plugins for Acceleration and Deceleration testing, that enable you to enter the start and end conditions, and begin testing in just a few clicks. The plugins also have a range of pre-set speed and distance conditions, such as 0-60 mph, 0-100 km/h, 0-100 mph, 0-130 mph, 0-160 km/h, 0-200 km/h, 0-End of Acceleration and Quarter Mile.
Testing Equipment
Performance testing can be conducted using any VBOX data logger, performance meter or video data logger. We offer a range of data loggers to suit any budget, including the plug & play VBOX Touch and industry leading VBOX 3i, which has a 100 Hz update rate.
VBOX Touch Data Logger
VBOX Touch is our new data logger that has a large 4.3" colour touchscreen, enabling you to see your test results in real-time. It even comes pre-loaded with a dedicated performance app, with shortcuts for popular tests such as 0-60 and 0-100 acceleration tests, and 100-0 and 60-0 deceleration tests.
Performance test results are saved to an SD card, and the device also provides audio and visual alerts, alerting the driver when a particular condition has been met, such as reaching the target speed.
VBOX 3i Data Logger
VBOX 3i is the industry standard data logger for performance and brake testing. It logs data at 100 Hz and offers a wide range of features, including USB and Bluetooth connectivity, compact flash card logging, audio functionality for voice tagging and inputs for brake trigger, CAN, analogue and digital interfaces.
The VBOX 3i offers brake stop accuracy to within 1.8 cm, which is one of the reasons why it is used by almost every OEM and proving ground.
VBOX IISX Data Logger
Another popular choice for performance testing is the VBOX IISX, if a 100 Hz update rate is not required. The VBOX IISX also logs to an SD card, at a rate of either 5, 10 or 20 Hz times per second, giving very repeatable and accurate results.
It also offers support for a high speed brake trigger input, CAN interface and two sets of analogue and digital outputs, and brake stop accuracy to within 10 cm.
VBOX Video Loggers
VBOX Video data loggers offer synchronised video and data, with real-time graphical overlay. We offer a range of systems, that are available with either four (SD) or two (HD) cameras, that can be mounted inside or outside the vehicle.
The graphical overlay is totally user-configurable and can be easily altered to present relevant information according to the tests being conducted.
Multi-Function Touch Display
The Multi-Function Touch Display can be used with the VBOX 3i, to display GPS derived channels such as speed, as well as additional data channels from deceleration tests.
Similar to the VBOX Touch, it can present live performance test results on a 4.3" colour touchscreen, and comes with a number of pre-loaded test conditions, such as 0-60, 0-100 and 60-0 or 100-0 testing. It can also present your test results on screen, using graphical elements such as charts and tables.
