A minimum of eight beacons are required and a site survey must be carried out as part of the installation, to ensure the optimum accuracy. Doing so means the exact location of each beacon is known which can then be shared with the rover enabling it to calculate its location to centimetre level accuracy. The rover features an integrated VBOX IMU04 (Inertial Measurement Unit) for precise pitch, roll and yaw angular data. It also connects directly to an IMU04 enabled VBOX 3i, enabling additional parameters from the vehicle’s CAN bus to be logged. Offering seamless integration between indoor and outdoor environments, the system can be used for high dynamic applications and the rover will automatically connect to the nearest beacons in range. Features •Can be used indoors and outdoors, switching seamlessly between environments. •Centimetre level accuracy in areas off limits to GPS based systems. •Small, rugged and low powered. •Only one rover is required, featuring an integrated VBOX IMU with Kalman filter to reduce noise and errors in the data. •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 beacons for optimum accuracy. •Each beacon is numbered for simple installation. https://racelogic.support/01VBOX_Automotive/VBOX_Indoor_Positioning_System/VBOX_IPS_User_Guide/ 2 Connectors https://racelogic.support/01VBOX_Automotive/VBOX_Indoor_Positioning_System/VBOX_IPS_User_Guide/ 3 02 - VBOX IPS Hardware Installation Beacon (VIPS-B-V1) Installation When first considering a VIPS installation or demonstration, it is important to understand the shape and size of the test area and thus the minimum number of beacons that will be required. The VBOX IPS will need at least 6 beacons in view at any one time to compute a solution. For a simple installation, Racelogic recommend placing the beacons in a ‘Square’ formation with spacing between the beacons of around 25–30 m, as below. If operating in an outdoor/indoor mode, then the rover will not switch to use the VBOX IPS until 6 beacons are in view. This means that it is only the first 6 beacons that will need to be placed closer together to ensure that 6 beacons are in view before the vehicle enters the test area. The remaining beacons can be placed with a greater separation so long as https://racelogic.support/01VBOX_Automotive/VBOX_Indoor_Positioning_System/VBOX_IPS_User_Guide/ 4 the vehicle is always within a 60 m radius of at least 6 beacons. For greater accuracy, it is recommended that the beacons are placed between 3 – 5 m above ground (i.e. above the roof of the test vehicle) and that each beacon varies in height by at least 300 mm to the nearest beacons, alternating in a high-low pattern. When mounting the VIPS beacons, there are a couple of considerations that need to be made. It is important when mounting the beacons that they are not mounted within at least 200 mm (or greater if possible) of an object, other than the surface the beacon is mounted to, that could cause reflections (e.g.a wall or metal structure) and that the beacons are mounted in the correct orientation in relation to the expected orientation of the Rover when in use. The beacons require a9 – 36 V power sourcethat is connected to the2 wayLemo connector. Theother Lemo connectoron the beacon is for Firmware upgrades and should be covered with the supplied splashproof plug to ensure waterproofness. The VIPS beacons have 4 magnets on the base allowing for easy installation onto any ferrous surface, however Racelogic can supply metallic plates that can attach to a tripod for quick installations. SuitableBeacon Orientations ✔ Side by side ✔ Side by side with small height difference ✔ Side by side with large height difference, tops towards each other https://racelogic.support/01VBOX_Automotive/VBOX_Indoor_Positioning_System/VBOX_IPS_User_Guide/ 5 ✗✗ Side by side with large height difference ✗✗ Tops together ✗✗ Tops to base ✗✗ Base to base ✗✗ Side to base ✗✗ Side by side with large height difference, tops away from each other https://racelogic.support/01VBOX_Automotive/VBOX_Indoor_Positioning_System/VBOX_IPS_User_Guide/ 6 Rover (VIPS-R-V2) Installation The VIPS Rover looks similar to the Beacon, however the rover contains an internal IMU and so care should be taken to ensure that the Rover is mounted on a section of the roof that has the least vibration. This is usually towards the rear of the vehicle, just in front of the rear windshield. The rover should also be mounted in a way such that it has a clear view to the beacons and away from any objects that may block that view (Roof bars, radio antennas etc). https://racelogic.support/01VBOX_Automotive/VBOX_Indoor_Positioning_System/VBOX_IPS_User_Guide/ 7 03 - VBOX IPS Rover Connection to VBOX 3i The Rover unit can connectto a standard VBOX 3i and switches seamlessly between GPS and the indoor positioning system, allowing you to use your original hardware for both outdoor and indoor testing.As the VIPS is designed to be used with IMU in…
