VBOX (Velocity Box)
Distance Measurement using GPS
VBOX is a powerful testing system used for measuring the speed and position of a moving vehicle. Based on a range of high performance GPS receivers, VBOX data loggers will measure speed, distance, acceleration, braking distance, heading, slip angle, lap times, position, cornering forces and more with high accuracy.
We offer a wide range of data loggers and specifications to meet different needs and budgets.
Looking for the ultimate testing solution?
VBOX is internationally recognised as a quality standard in the measurement of speed and distance for braking, performance, handling and vehicle testing. With the ability to synchronise GPS with video, CAN and IMU data, VBOX systems are the choice of test departments at almost every vehicle and tyre manufacturer worldwide.
It is used for applications such as Brake Testing, ADAS Testing such as Forward Collision Warning, Active Cruise Control or Lane Departure Warning, Tyre Testing, verifying Lane Departure Warning Systems (LDWS), Circuit & Driving Analysis, Vehicle Separation, Speed Verification, , Performance Testing, Aquaplane, Lane Change, Centreline Deviation, Mining, Speed & Route Guidance, Marine, Predictive Lap Timing and many more.
See our Customers
Due to the small size and simple installation procedure, the VBOX is ideally suited for use in cars, bikes, off-road vehicles and boats.

Synchronised Video and GPS in ADAS testingOne car maker finds out if VBOX is as accurate as claimed for NHTSA tests
After purchasing a VBOX ADAS testing system, one of the worlds’ largest car manufactures recently decided to prove to themselves that it satisfies the NHTSA accuracy requirements before rolling it out in their new vehicle development. Read the full article and see how our ADAS system performed here >
Why use VBOX for ECE R90 Brake Pad Testing
Used in brake testing applications around the world, VBOX systems can be used in all four of the main procedures used to validate the performance of brake pads and linings to ECE R90 standards. See how you could use VBOX for ECE R90 Brake Pad Testing here>

Slip angle measurement has never been so accurate...
The new VBOX3i Dual Antenna (VBOX3i SL) uses two antennas placed a fixed distance apart to capture vehicle dynamics (along the vehicle for pitch and across the vehicle for roll). By utilising both the GPS and Russian GLONASS constellations, RMS accuracies of up to 0.04° for slip and 0.028° for pitch can be achieved.
Verifying the brake test distance accuracy of VBOX
We start by using a fixed known starting point for the braking event. We then use a marked line on the test track which has been drawn perpendicular to the direction of travel.
