ADAS Moving Base Setup
Place one VBOX into each vehicle - one will be the subject vehicle and one or two will be the target vehicle(s). Racelogic recommend that the first target vehicle is used as the moving base. This means that the subject vehicle is only receiving the separation and correction data, not both sending and receiving it. This improves the reliability of the data.
In the Subject vehicle
