Lower cost entry GPS/INS Full Motion Sensor.
Inertial Aerosystems announce the availability of a new
U.K. designed and manufactured Inertial Navigation
System with on-board GPS.
Designated the RT3100, the compact unit allows accurate
measurements of full vehicle motion in normal to difficult terrain.
This product represents a price break through for this class of
instrument, accomplished through clever design and intelligent
use of resources. A small magnetic antenna is incorporated
which has accurate phase centre stability for precise movements.
The use of an advanced Kalman filter permits long term
measurement integrity even where GPS reception is intermittent
or corrupted by obstacles along a vehicle's route e.g. bridges,
trees etc.
Accuracies are achieved of better than 1.8 M position (DGPS 0.4M),
.06º pitch and roll and 0.1Km/hr velocity. Heading and slip angle
accuracies approach 0.1º in high dynamic situations.
The unit has its own on board flash memory. Synchronous GPS
sampling allows two or more vehicle systems to generate outputs
over the same time period.
When coupled with steering-wheel input, most chassis tests can
be performed.
A CAN.DBC file simplifies use of a CAN bus interface to a data
acquisition system.
In addition to applications in the automotive industry, the RT3100
would be a useful tool in Marine, Aerospace, Defence and other
related areas where accurate dynamic analysis and navigation
is required.
