Overview
VBOX File Processor is a software utility which has been designed to manipulate VBOX data files after they have been recorded.
It allows the user to rename existing channels within the VBOX file, to apply filters and to generate new channels via Maths and ADAS feature plugins - all within an intuitive and easily understood framework.
The software can then output a standard VBOX Tools compatible VBO file, Excel CSV, or Google Earth format.
One of the most powerful aspects to the new programme is the ability to batch process a number of files at once - greatly reducing post-processing workloads.
Features
- Batch processing of VBO files
- Export to VBO, CSV, KML
- Standard and custom math channels
- Filtering and smoothing
|
- Task specific ADAS plugins for lane departure, vehicle separation, intersection, parking assist and interruption calculations
- Data preview within the software
- Fully configurable calculation modes

Software Plugins
Software Process Plugins
The VBOX File Processor utility is free to download from the software download page and comes pre-installed with all plugins. The Channel Selection, Filtering and Maths Channels plugins are ready to be used. The ADAS plugins require software registration.
ADAS Plugins
Parking Assist
Designed to meet ISO regulation 204/WG14 ISO16787 'Assisted Parking Systems (APS) — parking with reference to other parked vehicles'.- Interruption
Generates vehicle separation data between three vehicles (subject vehicle, target vehicle and interruption vehicle).
- Intersection
Analysis multiple lanes, target vehicles and static points with respect to the main vehicle and generates relevant lane departure and vehicle separation data.
- Lane Data Generation
Generates lane data for use with a VBOX 3i and lane departure software. This process block has to be used separately and can't be used with other blocks.
- Lane Departure
Generates lane departure data between the vehicle and the nearest lane.
- Vehicle Separation
Generates vehicle separation data between two vehicles.
Channel Selection Plugins
Channel Organiser
Removes, renames and reorders the available channels- File Combination
Combines one or more channels from selected file to the output based on exact match of UTC time
- Video Sync
Synchronises the video from Video VBOX file(s) to the normal VBO file(s)
Filtering Plugins
- VBO Append
Appends multiple files together in chronological order irrespective of filename. Ensure appropriate files are appended for analysis (i.e. files from the same VBOX dataset).
Butterworth Filter
Applies a configurable Butterworth filter to the selected channel- Downsample
Reduces the sample rate of a .vbo file, to create a manageable file size, which is useful for large/appended files. The lowest sample rate to downsample to is 1 Hz.
- Time Sync
Trims the output to the specified time range
- Window Smooth
Applies a smoothing to the channel using 'n' samples in a 'window' averaging routine
Maths Channel Plugins
Maths Channel
Computes user defined channel using custom math formula- Local Time
Computes local time from UTC time
- Local XY
Computes X Y coordinates in meters using ECEF ENU transformation of latitude and longitude, making the first point in the file 0.0 m
- SAE Standard
Applies the SAE standard to applicable channels
- Slip Angle Translation
Calculates the vehicle's slip angle at the centre of gravity and corners of the vehicle, using the overall slip angle
- Standard Math Channels
Adds one or more selected predefined maths channels calculated from standard channels
- RoT from Yaw Rate
Computes the 'radius of turn' from 'yaw rate'
