Navigation takes position in mobile acquisition
Oxford Technical Solutions will launch its newly developed RT2500 inertial plus GPS navigation system in Europe at the Automotive Test Expo in Stuttgart.
The RT4000 supports outputs on Ethernet and CAN bus.
Dual-antenna GPS works by comparing the carrier phase at two GPS antennas.
The relative position of the antennas can be measured to millimetre precision, giving the heading angle to 0.1 degrees RMS using a 2m antenna separation.
Heading accuracy of 0.05 degrees RMS can be achieved in some circumstances using a 4m separation.
The RT4000 gives continuous, smooth outputs even in difficult GPS environments such as near trees or tall buildings.
The reliable, compact system is easy to use and quick to install, which will save valuable time.
Targeted at vehicle dynamics testing, the RT4000 Inertial and GPS navigation systems are equally suitable for applications such as autonomous vehicles, steering robot guidance, road surveying and asset management.
