VBOX Touch
The VBOX Touch features a 25 Hz GNSS receiver, responsive colour touchscreen and the ability to run multiple applications on the same hardware.
Applications are written in Python script, enabling users with programming knowledge to create their own apps, including custom CAN-based applications to solve specific testing needs.
Performance & Durability Testing
VBOX Touch comes pre-loaded with a dedicated performance app, with shortcuts for popular tests such as 0-60 and 0-100 acceleration tests, and 100-0 and 60-0 deceleration tests.
The Speed Profiler app is great for conducting durability or fuel economy tests. It provides drivers with visual and audible alerts to help them stay within a specific speed range.
Brake & Tyre Temperature Monitoring
By connecting VBOX Touch to our brake or tyre temperature sensors, you can measure, log and view the surface temperature of your tyres or brake discs in real-time.
Brake & Tyre Testing
VBOX Touch RTK allows you to evaluate a vehicle’s braking performance with a stopping accuracy of 5 cm and inbuilt MFDD calculation.
It features a digital brake trigger input and two CAN interfaces which give you additional data directly from the vehicle CAN Bus or via various VBOX modules including IMU, Thermocouple or Mini Input Module.
ADAS Testing
Looking for a cost-effective solution for testing on the open road?
By connecting two VBOX Touch RTK units to an NTRIP Modem and 2.4 GHz radio, you can accurately measure the distance between two moving objects in real-time. This method offers exceptional precision at a competitive price point.
VBOX Touch RTK
VBOX Touch RTK is the ideal solution for those who require centimetre-level positional accuracy in their testing applications.
Equipped with a 10 Hz, RTK-enabled GNSS receiver, VBOX Touch RTK delivers robust position accuracy and precise measurements of speed and distance, all at an extremely competitive price point. By receiving RTK correctional signals via a Base Station or NTRIP modem, you can achieve up to 1 cm positional accuracy on a test track or on open roads.
When it comes to braking distance accuracy, VBOX Touch RTK records results to within 5 cm.
VBOX Touch App Store
VBOX Touch comes pre-installed with a versatile Performance App, for acceleration testing, deceleration testing, lap timing and speed display.
For other use cases, such as tyre temperature monitoring, durability testing or event marking you can find additional apps in our App Store, all free of charge. You can even write and run your own applications, if you are familiar with Python script. The possibilities are endless. To revert to the standard functionality of VBOX Touch, simply re-install the Performance App again.
Performance App (Default)
This application ships with VBOX Touch as standard and enables you to perform acceleration and deceleration tests, as well as measure your lap times, live speed, average speed or maximum speed.
Multi-Function Display
The Multi-Function Display app allows you to use the VBOX Touch as a display when connected to a VBOX 4. You will need the cable ‘RLCAB005-C’ to connect VBOX Touch to a VBOX 4.
Tyre Temperature Monitoring
Measure, log and display the surface temperature of all tyres in real-time via heat maps, live and maximum temperature values. You will also need the RACELOGIC tyre temperature sensor kit (RLACS272).
Brake Temperature Monitoring
The Brake Temperature Monitoring app gives you a real-time display of the temperature of each brake disc. In order to use this app, you need the Brake Temperature Monitoring Sensor Kit (RLACS314).
Speed Profiler
Ideal for durability, fuel economy and tyre testing. You can set a speed profile, load it onto the unit, and the driver will receive visual and audible alerts when deviating from the target speed or tolerance.

Tyre or Brake Temperature Sensors
When loaded with the free Tyre/ Brake Temperature App (see Apps Store) and connected to four infrared temperature sensors (RLACS314 for brake temperatures, RLACS272 for tyre temperatures) you can measure, log and monitor the surface temperature of all four tyres or brake disks with VBOX Touch.
Mini Input Module
The Mini Input Module allows data such as wheel speed, RPM, temperature, fuel flow, throttle angles and pedal forces to be easily measured along the GNSS data.
Brake Pedal Trigger
The VBOX Brake Pedal Trigger (RLVBACS004) allows precise measurement of brake pedal application during braking. The exact time is captured and recorded by the VBOX at a high sampling rate.
VBOX Base Station
A VBOX base station improves the position accuracy of the VBOX Touch RTK by calculating and transmitting position correction data.
