Highly accurate vehicle motion data: VBOX data loggers precisely measure speed, distance, acceleration, heading and radius of turn, and can be used to calculate coefficient of friction, reaction time and time to collision.
Industry standard, independently validated: the same measurement technology used by test houses to validate vehicles and ADAS.
Direct insight from vehicle CAN bus: VBOX systems connect to the vehicle’s CAN bus to verify the status of onboard systems during collision reconstruction and identify issues such as low tyre pressures.
Synchronised HD video evidence: Fully synchronised, time-stamped video with overlaid data and calculated channels clearly shows what happened and supports court presentation.
ISO/IEC 17025 calibrated measurement equipment for traceable, court-ready accuracy.
Trusted by police departments, prosecutors and forensic engineers in the United States and worldwide.
Synchronised HD Video
By integrating a VBOX Video data logger into your testing system, you have an easy method to show key facts that may have been difficult to convey without a visual aid.
The HD video is embedded with a fully customisable graphical overlay, that can be configured to show multiple data parameters including the vehicle's speed, the distance to impact and brake pedal pressure inputs.
With its own 10 Hz GPS engine, all data shown by the VBOX Video HD2 can be fully time synced to ensure accuracy.
Accurate Speed and Distance Measurements
VBOX data loggers are used by Collision Investigation Units and Police Forces around the world, for accurate measurements of speed, distance, acceleration, heading and radius of turn.
We offer various solutions for recreating and simulating accidents, including the 10 Hz VBOX Touch, which has a colour touchscreen, and our flagship VBOX 4, which offers centimetre-level position accuracy and CAN Bus connectivity.
Video Integration
The Video VBOX allows Collision Investigation Units to not only measure speed and distance at an accident simulation, but also to present it in a simple manner to back up data being presented in court.
The overlaid graphical capability of a Video VBOX means that key facts of a case can be conveyed far more easily than through the sole presentation of data in diagrammatic form.
Quick and Easy Data Analysis
VBOX Test Suite analysis software is free to all VBOX users, and provides you with the information that you need quickly, allowing you to easily select the data you want to display and customise the way it is shown on screen.
The software can also create charts and reports, showing the important information in a user-friendly manner.
Thames Valley Police
The crash investigators in the Thames Valley police force use a VBOX Micro and a VBOX Video data logger to reconstruct motorcycle accidents.
The VBOX Micro, connected to a GPS combiner and two antennas – to ensure continuity of satellite lock when the bike falls onto its side – is packed into the seat unit with a battery pack. The bike is then towed up to a set speed and ‘dropped’ so that it falls and skids along the runway. The test is filmed by a rear-facing VBOX Video camera system.
The investigators then validate their existing crash forensic methods against evidence they have collected: whilst it seems very obvious what will happen to a motorcycle when its rider loses control, being able to safely replicate this has been very difficult before. Although these tests are in their infancy, the Thames Valley CIU are building a database of crash types that aids them when examining real-world incidents, and helps them to further understand the dynamics of motorcycles involved in accidents.
