Investigating vehicle dynamics

GNSS single-antenna system for investigating vehicle dynamics

An international automobile manufacturer wants to test dynamic vehicle behavior under a diversity of conditions. A vehicle fitted out with a variety of sensory equipment is to be driven throughout Europe. For this reason, a local base station is used and the data are evaluated during post-processing.
The complex peripheral sensors are stabilized and synchronized using the PPS and frequency output of the GNSS receiver. The GNSS event marker is used to set a precise time stamp.
The GNSS technology that has been integrated is only a small element in the overall system, yet its reliability and precision make it indispensable.
