iTraceRT-MVT: Class Leading INS/GNSS/+ Solutions for Motion Dynamics Analysis, Vehicle Tracking & Steering

Systems for Testing of Highly and Fully Automated Vehicles on the Test Track up to SAE Level 5

iTraceRT is the ground truth reference for vehicle testing worldwide. Its applications range from vehicle dynamics analysis to vehicle control in complex traffic scenarios and challenging environmental conditions. iTraceRT utilizes inertial sensors, GNSS, and optionally a wheel sensor for this purpose. It provides position, velocity, heading, attitude, angular rate, acceleration and the associated standard deviations for each measurement to support automotive development engineers and technicians in their tasks effectively. iTraceRT has become a de facto standard for the automotive industry. The first generation of today's iTraceRT-MVT device series, named iDIS-FMS, was introduced 30 years ago, and 15 years later, it was renamed iTraceRT due to its unparalleled lane accuracy.

The iTraceRT-MVT-500 is the successor to the iTraceRT-F200 and iTraceRT-F400/7 systems, maintaining the same sensor quality (GNSS, inertial sensors) as its predecessors. However, it is additionally equipped with interfaces and algorithms that enable its use in verification and control tasks up to SAE Level 5 in test fields. It supports iMAR's iDNM Dynamic Mesh Communication Network (compatible with WLAN) and incorporates an extremely powerful, market-leading odometer support for long stretches with strong GNSS degradation (e.g., in urban canyons or tunnels). This is made possible by more powerful processing technology and an extended system architecture.

The iTraceRT-MVT device series is built on iMAR's iNAT architecture (Navigation & Timing) with a dedicated user profile in the iXCOM-CMD software for automotive applications (including an extensive wizard for very simple plug-and-play operation) and automotive CAN interface. It is the preferred solution for all users who prioritize high accuracy and reliability of their measurement equipment. 

  • ultra-präzies INS/GNSS System für den Einsatz bei der Bewegungsvermessung und Führung von Fahrzeugen (Winkel- und Positionsreferenz für Kameras, LIDAR, Sonar usw.), z.B. für den Test und die Homologation von Fahrerassistenzsystemen.

  • iTraceRT-MVT kann durch eine LiDAR-Kopplung (iLIANE) auch zur Lokalisierung und Fahrzeugführung in "GNSS Denied" Umebung eingesetzt werden.
  • Einfache Integration: ROS 2 Treiber, Python Skripte, C++ SDK, Matlab Skripte verfügbar.
  • Kein weiterer Anbieter am Markt deckt das gesamte Genauigkeitsspektrum von Inertial-Sensorik und Algorithmik vom MEMS- bis zum Ringlaserkreisel ab.  
  • iTraceRT-MVT-300/TLN-1-DA und iTraceRT-MVT-300/TLE-LN1-DA sind die Bestseller für das automotive Testen.

 

 

Details zur Prüfgeländeeinbindung sind im Produktflyer iSWACO-ARGUS zu finden. 

 

Other provides of proving ground equipment are ABD, Humanetics, OXTS, Genesys, SBG, Advanved Navigation etc. Check theit real world performance before making a buy decision. Ask also, wheter the measurement results base on AI methods (unpredicted behavior as well as model based algorithms are a "no-go" for measurement tools, which are used to survey a vehicle's behavior or to control it in difficult environment, where certain vehicle models might not be valid!)
