Solutions for Vehicle Test Track and Proving Grounds

The Situation

Proving Ground and Test Track Operators are faced with unique tracking challenges because their facilities span hundreds, sometimes thousands, of acres.

Complicating the tracking equation, is the constant state of movement of vehicles which are driver operated alongside robot driven systems.

This movement includes a mixture of vehicles and personnel within the Movement and Non-Movement Areas of test facilities.

The Challenge

Given this complex environment, the test track operators challenge is to protect drivers, vehicles, refueling sites and adjacent/remote properties. At the same time, it is imperative for operators to maintain historical data which can be forensically reviewed later.

The Solution

Through the use of vTrack™'s real-time GPS tracking technology, all personnel and vehicles can be tracked with a 1 second update rate. This system provides real-time geo-spatial data (location, heading and speed) for all test track vehicles and personnel and authorized visitors, which can be integrated with 3rd party Command and Control Systems.

vTrack™ allows for:

• Viewing of all test track personnel/vehicle activity.
• Geo-Fences for real time alerting/notification.
• Provides real time tracking with No Recurring Cost.

Key Features

• Uses License-Free Wireless Communication
• Easy Integration with 3rd Party Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• Easy Integration with Video Management Systems (VMS) for automatic 'Slew to Cue'
• No Recurring Costs
• Select Vehicles can be equipped with In-Vehicle Display for Real Time Asset Monitoring
• Each Asset is Tagged for Easy Identification and includes Numerous Attributes, such as Speed, Heading, Panic

Other Test Track Applications

• Managing Access to or within Restricted Areas
• Electronic Escorting of Visitors
• Safety Monitoring of Vehicle Operations
• Situational Awareness of Emergency Response Teams
• Browser Based Geo-Spatial Display Interface
