VBOX 3iS
Compact GNSS-aided Inertial Navigation System (INS) with integrated IMU and wheel speed data from the vehicle’s CAN bus
Reliable position & velocity in areas with poor GNSS- Connects to your existing control system or data logger
- Ideal for multi-vehicle, multi-target ADAS testing
- Compatible with steering robots
- VBOX 3iSDR model adds RTK and dual antenna
VBOX 3iS is the industry standard GNSS-aided Inertial Navigation system, offering an efficient solution for high-accuracy ADAS and vehicle dynamics testing – available as the standard VBOX 3iS or the new VBOX 3iSDR.
Featuring the latest multi-constellation, multi-frequency GNSS receiver, VBOX 3iS delivers robust location and position data. Accuracy is further enhanced by the internal high-grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which smoothly fills any gaps in GNSS reception for short periods of time. For longer periods of occlusion, VBOX 3iS utilises the wheel speed data from the vehicle’s CAN bus to significantly reduce any drift.
VBOX 3iSDR builds on the great features of the VBOX 3iS and adds a dual antenna and RTK (Real-Time Kinematic).
High Performance GNSS Receiver
The 100 Hz multi-constellation, multi-frequency GNSS engine tracks both the GPS and GLONASS networks of satellites and ensures that data is accurately captured, even in restricted sky view conditions.
Reliable in Poor GNSS Conditions
In GNSS denied environments, such as tunnels and deep urban canyons, VBOX 3iS significantly improves the accuracy of the estimated speed and position data by combining wheel speed information with GNSS and inertial data.
Compatible with Steering Robots
RTK accuracy combined with the IMU makes VBOX 3iSDR a versatile Motion Pack, providing the speed, position and attitude data required to control driving robots and guided soft targets (GST).
Cost-effective ADAS Testing Solutions
VBOX 3iSDR is highly effective for use in multi-target ADAS testing, such as swarm testing, where an accurate data source is essential for each target vehicle but does not require individual logging capabilities.
High-grade IMU
The internal high-grade IMU offers precise measurements of pitch, roll and yaw and helps fill GNSS gaps for short periods of time caused by obstructions such as heavy tree cover or bridges.
Wheel Speed Integration
Wheel speed data from the vehicle’s CAN bus is used to significantly reduce any drift in the data and stabilise the accuracy of speed and position without fitting expensive external wheel speed sensors.

VBOX 3iS
VBOX 3iS is a highly versatile test solution. It’s high accuracy GNSS receiver combined with internal IMU and integrated wheel speed data from the vehicle’s CAN bus offers precise measurements of pitch, roll and yaw, as well as position and speed, even in areas with poor satellite signal.
The accurate measurement of attitude channels makes VBOX 3iS an ideal solution for a wide range of vehicle dynamics testing including suspension, chassis, and brake testing.
ADAS Testing
It is quick and easy to test several different ADAS applications using VBOX 3iSDR, such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning and Park Assist.
Autonomous Vehicle Testing
VBOX 3iSDR is ideal for Autonomous Vehicle testing and is compatible with most major steering robot manufacturers, offering highly accurate and repeatable path following.
Handling & Dynamics
The accurate measurement of attitude channels makes VBOX 3iSDR an ideal solution for vehicle dynamics testing including suspension, chassis, and brake testing. The two antennas add the ability to measure slip angle at five discrete locations.
VBOX NTRIP Modem
The VBOX NTRIP Modem allows a VBOX 3iSDR to receive positional correction data via Network RTK, without having to use a VBOX Base Station.
Multi-Function Touch Display
The MFD Touch is the perfect accessory to monitor one or more parameters during the test. Up to six GNSS/CAN-derived data parameters can be displayed simultaneously, and performance test results can be calculated and presented live from the vehicle.
Brake Pedal Trigger
The VBOX Brake Pedal Trigger (RLVBACS004) allows precise measurement of brake pedal application during braking. The exact time is captured and recorded by the VBOX at a high sampling rate.
DGNSS Base Station
A VBOX base station improves the position accuracy of the VBOX 3iSDR by calculating and transmitting position correction data. This accuracy allows the VBOX 3iSDR to be used as a moving target in ADAS testing or as a motion pack of a steering robot.
Antenna Mounting Pole
This mounting system (RLACS171) is used to extend antenna separation up to 2.5 m for slip angle and other dynamic testing.
