Full CAN Logging
VBOX 4 automatically captures a vehicle’s entire CAN bus system, including CAN FD, without requiring pre-selection of channels. This ensures that no critical data is missed, eliminating the need for re-testing and allowing complete flexibility in data analysis.
By logging the full CAN Bus upfront, specific channels can be selected later using the VBOX TEST SUITE analysis software. This enables data to be analysed in unlimited combinations, and pre-configured test plugins provide instant pass/fail results.
VBOX 4 features two independent CAN ports, allowing it to synchronise two separate CAN buses into a single .asc file.
Unrestricted CAN bus logging also supports sensors with rapid update rates, such as suspension damper rates. All sensor outputs are precisely synchronised with GNSS position data, ensuring accurate and reliable performance analysis.
IMU Integration
VBOX 4 seamlessly integrates with VBOX IMU05 to enhance data accuracy and reliability. This 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.
Available in standard and advanced S versions, VBOX IMU05 utilises advanced inertial technology to augment the GNSS capabilities of VBOX 4, delivering cleaner, more precise test data.
Precise Position and Movement Analysis
Additionally, VBOX IMU05 adds crucial attitude channels - Yaw, Pitch, and Roll - which are essential for vehicle dynamics and ADAS testing to analyse lateral and longitudinal movements, including Slip Angle and Vehicle/Body Heading.
Used as an Inertial Navigation System (INS) the IMU05 will produce pitch and roll angles accurate to 0.02° RMS (0.013° RMS for IMU05-S), yaw angles accurate to 0.1° RMS (0.07° RMS for IMU05-S) and smoother velocity data.
Translate Reference Point
VBOX IMU05 adds the ability to translate measurements away from the GNSS antenna, to any location on the vehicle, such as the centre of gravity or centre of rotation. This allows for analysis at the point of interest rather than only at the vehicle roof, which experiences measurement overshoot during dynamic manoeuvrers.
Mitigate GNSS Multipath
The combined use of VBOX 4 and IMU05 excels in environments with poor GNSS signals, such as areas prone to signal occlusion, denial, or multi-path interference. Here, the IMU05 consistently maintains data accuracy for speed and position, even when GNSS data is compromised.

Robot Integration
VBOX 4 has RTK, IMU05 compatibility and Ethernet connectivity as standard, supporting seamless integration with all major driving robots.
This enables repeatable and reliable testing for a wide range of test applications from open loop tests such as ESC, to complex path follow scenarios that validate Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane Support.
Motion Pack Solution
VBOX 4 provides high-precision speed, heading, and positional data, enabling a driving robot to follow a predefined path with centimetre-level accuracy. This ensures tests are conducted with absolute consistency, which is crucial for validating complex ADAS scenarios.
VBOX AUTOMOTIVE offers an extensive range of RTK-compatible devices, modules, displays, radios, and accessories, delivering a complete testing solution for users.
<1cm Positional Accuracy
All VBOX 4 models are RTK-enabled as standard, allowing the use of RTK as a source for correctional data to improve positional accuracy to within 1 cm.
The RTK correction source can either be from a local fixed base station or received over the internet from a third party correction service using NTRIP (Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol).
Fixed base stations, such as the Racelogic RTK Base station, have a range of up to 10 kilometres (approx 6.2 miles).
NTRIP correction services offer a wide coverage area that is not limited to a particular region, making it the ideal solution for open-road testing. They often require a per-user subscription and some form of internet access.

Setup Software
The dedicated set-up software is designed to ensure efficient and seamless configuration of the VBOX 4. The intuitive interface features smart illustrations that visually represent current test settings, providing clarity and reducing setup time.
With active guidance, the software offers real-time feedback, ensuring test setups are constructed correctly and will operate as required. This immediate confirmation minimises errors and enhances testing efficiency.
