VBOX Audio Sensor Proven to Meet ADAS Latency Requirements with Sub-3 ms Accuracy 

VBOX Automotive have carried out a recent evaluation study of its VBOX Audio Sensor, reinforcing its suitability for high-accuracy ADAS testing and regulatory compliance.

VBOX ADAS Audio Sensors are widely used for detecting audible warnings in systems such as Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Driver Status Monitoring (DSM), Seat Belt Reminder (SBR), and Safe Exit Assist. 

“Given standards such as UNECE Regulation R151, we’ve seen an increase in customers asking how the accuracy of the VBOX Audio Sensor compares with other solutions on the market, given our significantly lower price point.” 

The evaluation confirms that the VBOX Audio Sensor not only meets the technical requirements of standards like UNECE Regulation R151, which specifies a 25 ms limit for audio detection latency, but consistently delivers signal capture accuracy better than 3 ms (1σ) with fixed delay compensation. This level of precision exceeds the market leader, at a significantly lower price point.

VBOX Automotive’s Total Testing approach means the sensor integrates seamlessly with VBOX data loggers, third-party driving robots (E.g. AB Dynamics, 4a, Humanetics, Staehle and Vehico), while providing real-time CAN and digital outputs.

VBOX Automotive’s streamlined dedicated configuration software lets users set specific audio thresholds and isolate single or multiple target tones from environmental noise. 

Whether used as a standalone unit or with other VBOX ADAS sensors, VBOX Audio Sensors remains a practical, accurate, and cost-effective solution for reliable audio signal detection during ADAS validation.
