Applications
The RT family of Inertial and GPS navigation systems combine many different sensors that engineers require in to one, small, easy-to-use package. It is a very stable product with simple to use outputs. There are many applications where the RT system is invaluable. Here is a sample of application ideas.

Testing Driver Assistance Systems
The RT-Range systems have been used in a unique series of tests to reveal how well new safety features in different car models work. |

GPS Heading
The RT2502 system combines gyros, accelerometers and two GPS receivers in one small, compact package making it an ideal tool for overcoming the technical difficulties associated with heading measurement. |

LIDAR Mobile Mapping
OxTS’s RT3002 and Riegl’s Q120 scanner are perfect for cost effective mobile mapping applications. This application note describes a very simple but effective mobile mapping setup. |

ADAS Testing
RT-Range systems from OxTS are used at Applus IDIADA's proving grounds to test and validate the accuracy of ADAS sensors. Tests can be performed with highest accuracy and repeatability in a safe and realisitic environment. |

Autonomous vehicles
Unmanned ground vehicles are currently being developed by many companies and universities all over the world. Oxford Technical Solutions' products are successfully used in many autonomous projects. |

Comparison of Optical and RT3000 Slip Angle Measurement
When Idiada compared the RT3100 to an Optical Slip Sensor they found that the RT3100 gave exceptionally good results. With faster installation times, more measurement channels and wider bandwidth, the RT3100 is an ideal tool for Slip angle and other measurements. |

Pitch and Roll Measurement using the RT3000
Unlike traditional Inertial Navigation Systems, the RT3000 does not need to be reset, it does not drift after circles. The extended Kalman filter in the RT3000 provides continuous updates to the navigation system using GPS, keeping the Pitch and Roll accurate all the time. |

RT3000 vs. GPS-Only Speed Comparison
The velocity from the RT3000 is much quieter than that of GPS-only products. It is also much wider bandwidth, free from jumps and drop-outs and is true forward/lateral velocity instead of speed. Find out more with the comparison in both open and difficult environments. |

Path-following Robot
We compared the consistency of three drivers to the ABD Steering Robot on a slalom test. You will not believe how much more consistent the path-following mode of the robot is. Here are some results... |
