  • Use: Measures the speed of approaching vehicles and displays the vehicle’s actual speed to drivers on a digital display

V Box mini module

  • General-purpose input/output module
  • Use: General-purpose input/output module to collect data such as temperature, RPM, wheel speed, fuel flow, throttle angles and pedal forces which can be measured along with the VBOX GPS data

Accessory sensor modules and inertia measurement unit

  • Basic sensor module for field measurements
  • Use: To find the dynamic flow characteristics of vehicle maneuvering

The Infra-Red Traffic Logger (TIRTL)

  • The Infra-Red Traffic Logger
  • Use: It is a multi-purpose traffic sensor that can be used as a traffic counter,speed sensor, red light camera sensor, heavy vehicle tracker, over height vehicle sensor, rail crossing sensor and network management system.

Video V Box Pro 10 Hz

  • Combines a 10 Hz VBOX GPS data logger with a 2 or 4 camera video system
