The LC-8200 is a speedometer for various vehicle tests that utilizes GPS signals. While conventional GPS speedometers measure the speed and distance traveled by the GPS antenna itself, the newly developed GPS vector speedometer LC-8200 can measure speed and distance in both the direction of travel and the lateral direction of the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle's lateral slip angle can be measured using only the device itself.
When a vehicle is driven, sudden steering maneuvers or driving on slippery surfaces can cause the vehicle to skid, potentially leading to a serious accident. Therefore, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has mandated the installation of electronic stability control (ESC) systems in vehicles. This product allows for easy determination of the vehicle's skid angle, greatly contributing to the efficiency of measuring vehicle behavior during driving. In addition to the skid angle, it can acquire over 30 measurement data points, including straight-line speed and 3-axis acceleration. It also features an analog output function with 16 selectable channels, allowing for the measurement of all necessary data for various vehicle driving tests using a single device.
Furthermore, it inherits the functions of the previous product, the "LC-8100 GPS Vehicle Speedometer," and uses an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) to supplement data, allowing for highly accurate and stable measurement results with a data update cycle of 100 Hz, even in locations where GPS satellite acquisition conditions are poor, such as when passing under bridges. In addition, by connecting to a PC, it is possible to log various measurement data such as speed and distance.
Furthermore, we offer options such as CAN output functionality, acceleration/deceleration test software, fuel efficiency test software, and track display software to support a wide range of measurements and tests.
This single device can measure over 30 parameters, including skid angle, straight-line speed, lateral speed, and distance traveled.
Stable measurements are possible regardless of road surface conditions.
16 channels can be selected from acquired data (3-axis acceleration, gradient angle, etc.) and output as analog.
It accepts 8-channel analog and 2-channel pulse signals, and enables logging synchronized with speed data.
Calibration in accordance with the traceability system is possible.
A wide variety of optional software is available to support various vehicle tests (optional support).
