Accurate Path Following With a VBOX 3i and AB Dynamics Steering Robot

The VBOX 3i Dual Antenna with RTK is the ideal motion pack for an AB Dynamics steering robot. The VBOX provides the robot with positional data, and with accuracy to within 5cm, is the perfect choice for high accuracy path following, lane change manoeuvres and ADAS testing.
Driving robots for steering and throttle/brake control are used in vehicle testing and development, where the test procedures call for absolute consistency that a human driver cannot perform. Driving robots are also invaluable where the manoeuvres are not considered safe to have a driver at the wheel or are extremely fatiguing to carry out, such as the Sine with Dwell element of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) testing or the HGV power steering failure test in UNECE R79.
For tests which need the vehicle to take a repeatable and highly accurate path control - such as Euro NCAP AEB or LSS assessment- a VBOX can be used as a motion pack to provide speed, heading, and positional data that is accurate enough for a driving robot to follow a predefined path to centimetre-level accuracy.
