We launched the first VBOX back in 2000 and our latest 100 Hz data logger, the VBOX 3i, combines all of our knowledge and experience into one box that enables you to conduct almost any automotive test with ease.
Available with a choice of single or dual antennas, or dual antennas with RTK, the VBOX 3i is extremely versatile and comes with free data analysis software with application specific plugins, making it quick and easy to conduct tests in real-time.
Log up to 32 vehicle CAN channels simultaneously, or double this to 64 channels from two isolated CAN buses when using VBOX CAN Hub.
All configuration can be done within the VBOX Setup software, including functionality that was previously only available via the VBOX Manager.
All variants of the VBOX 3i offer a 100 Hz update rate and use the very latest GNSS technology, however you have a choice of whether you require a single antenna, dual antennas, or dual antennas with RTK, depending on the applications you plan on using the VBOX 3i for.
The VBOX 3i Single Antenna is extremely versatile and offers velocity accuracy of 0.1 km/h and brake distance accuracy of ±1.8 cm.
It is the industry standard data logger for performance, braking and tyre testing, thanks to its impressive accuracy and range of features along with an attractive price point. The VBOX 3i Single Antenna is easy to set up and use, which is why it is used by almost every vehicle and tyre manufacturer worldwide.
The VBOX 3i Dual Antenna offers the same impressive features as the Single Antenna variant, but also has a second GNSS Antenna, which means it can also measure vehicle body heading, slip angle and pitch or roll angle at 100 Hz.
The system is so accurate that it can even detect the difference a side wind makes to the slip angle measurement, a feat that even the very best inertial systems cannot currently replicate.
It is ideal for handling tests such as ESC (Electronic Stability Control), Lane Change and Tyre Testing where slip angle is required.
The VBOX 3i Dual Antenna with RTK offers centimetre level position accuracy and multi-vehicle/ multi-target ADAS testing.
It is possible to connect our industry leading data logger to either an NTRIP modem or RTK DGNSS Base Station to receive correctional data. You can also install a VBOX 3i Dual Antenna with RTK in both the subject and target vehicle for ADAS testing, with measurements between each automatically calculated in real-time and transmitted via radio.
The VBOX 3i Dual Antenna with RTK is ideal for Autonomous Vehicle testing and is compatible with VEHICO & AB Dynamics steering robots, offering highly accurate and repeatable path following.
We offer flexible options to access the Topnet Live GNSS Positioning Correction Service within Europe with the purchase of any RTK enabled VBOX test solution.
VBOX 3i ADAS offers IMU integration, which means you can reliably test in areas with limited or no satellite coverage, such as tunnels, deep urban canyons and test tracks with heavy tree lining.
The VBOX 3i ADAS's GNSS receiver provides highly accurate measurements of position, velocity and distance in areas with a clear view of the sky. However, as you start to lose visibility of the satellites in built-up or obscured areas, the accuracy of the data typically starts to drift.
By combining wheel speed data from the vehicle's CAN bus with GNSS and Inertial data from a VBOX IMU, the VBOX 3i ADAS can maintain the accuracy of the estimated speed and position, even when you lose satellite signal.
*Specifications will vary depending on the number of satellites used, obstructions, satellite geometry (PDOP), multipath effects, and atmospheric conditions. For maximum system accuracy, always follow best practices for GNSS data collection.
