As part of the research and development project N R 10-0006-04/2008, tests were conducted on a new PIMR vehicle combination. During tests at the Bednary airfield near Poznań, the driving safety and steering precision of a road combination consisting of a Mitsubishi L200 truck and a GN2000 gooseneck trailer, category O, equipped with a new PIMR-EBS braking system and a new type of ball coupling, were verified.PIMR vehicle combinations are expected to improve transport safety and traffic flow compared to dangerous agricultural tractor combinations. Data from the PIMR vehicle combination tests were recorded using, among others, the Racelogic Video
VBOX system, which is used for the acquisition of GPS data and images from two high-resolution video cameras. The article presents the possibilities of using this system.
ADVANTAGES OF RACELOGIC VIDEO VBOX SYSTEM USE IN NEW ROAD UNITS RESEARCH TESTS
In R&D project N R 10-0006-04/2008 new PIMR’s road unit was tested. On Bednary airfield, near Poznan research tests were focused on safety and steering precision of road unit: Mitsubishi L200 truck and GN2000 gooseneck trailer, category O – equipped with new PIMR-EBS brake system and new type of coupling device. Airfield and road tests confirmed that new road units should improve safety of road transportation and traffic flow comparing with dangerous farm tractor units. During research tests of PIMR’s road unit Racelogic Video VBOX system was used for collecting GPS data and video movies from two high resolution video cameras. Paper describes advantages of use Video VBOX system. (…)
