The VBOX Survey Trolley is made to give you the ability to map the curved lane edges of a test track to a high accuracy.

You can use the logged file as a reference lane when you are doing tests with a VBOX 3i. You can do this live during testing or in post-processing with the post-processing software, Lane Departure.

The survey trolley comes with a line-mapping rover wheel, a custom rucksack, a radio antenna and a battery pack.

It is available in 4 RF antenna options:

2.4 GHz
868 MHz
915 MHz
400 to 470 MHz

To get the full functionality, you will also need the following hardware:

ACS067 antenna
RLVB3iR10G10/RLVB3iSL-RTK
RLVBBS4RG, Base Station
DGPS telemetry Radio
