RT500 v1
The go-to INS for slip angle, coastdown, and brake testing
Overview
RT500 v1
The RT500 v1 is designed as the go-to INS for automotive companies performing low-dynamics testing—coastdown, brake testing, and slip angle measurement. It delivers position, time, velocity, acceleration, heading, pitch, and roll in one unified data stream.
Tightly-coupled GNSS/INS integration with a dual-antenna GPS/GLONASS multi-frequency receiver ensures reliable performance even in poor satellite coverage. CAN 2.0 and CAN-FD interfaces, three Ethernet ports, and 48 V power supply support make integration into modern test vehicles straightforward.
Configurable slip-point measurement (up to eight points), local coordinate displacement, surface tilt compensation, and acceleration filtering provide the complete toolset for vehicle dynamics engineers.
