VBOX Indoor Positioning System
VIPS
• Seamlessly transfers from outdoor GNSS to
indoor VIPS and vice-versa.
• Centimetre-level accuracy in areas where GPS-based systems are unable to operate.
• Small, rugged, and low powered
• Connects directly to a VBOX 3i data logger using only one cable for simple configuration.
• A minimum of 8 and maximum of 250 beacons can be installed in each location allowing continuous
coverage of tracks up to 3.5 km long.
• Simple one-time configuration either by Bluetooth or serial cable (RS232)
• 100 Hz update and low latency for high dynamic applications
• The rover automatically connects to the nearest beacon for optimum accuracy
technology and an integrated IMU to accurately measure speed,
position, and vehicle attitude (pitch/ roll/ yaw) in areas where GPS is
not available.
The system consists of a minimum of eight beacons placed along the
perimeter of the testing area that communicate with a receiver, called
the rover, which is mounted on the vehicle's roof.
The accuracy of the system is optimized through a site survey, which
ensures the exact location of each beacon is known and can be shared
with the rover for location calculation to centimetrelevel accuracy.
The VBOX 3i connects directly to the rover, allowing
logging of additional parameters from the vehicle's
CAN bus.
With seamless integration between indoor and
outdoor environments, VIPS is perfectly suited for high
dynamic applications.
