Description
This standalone GPS-to-CAN module generates GNSS position and 3D inertial data (via a gyroscope and accelerometer) and outputs it via configurable CAN bus frames.
The module supports "Untethered Dead Reckoning" - this means that even if the GNSS signal is completely lost, the module can provide continuous positioning through IMU-based estimates (no external inputs required).
You can integrate the module into any CAN bus, e.g. vehicle networks or CAN hardware. For example, you can use it as a plug & play add-on module for the CANedge .

GPS and 3D-IMU - Enrich your data
The following functions and data can be used and recorded with the help of GPS and 3D IMU
Position + sensor fusionAddtime-synchronised GPS positioning to your CAN/LIN data - with sensor fusion (UDR) for 3x higher accuracy.
SpeedSpeed datais useful, for example. Fleet telematics to determine speeding, idle time, asset utilisation and more.
AltitudeAltitudeis critical, e.g. analysing fuel/battery consumption - or e.g. in aerospace applications such as drones, aircraft etc.
InclinationTheGNSS/IMU enables position data and provides a 3D view of the system orientation at all times [Automotive].
Trip distanceOdometer dataenables easy tracking of the distance travelled by the system (since the module was last switched on and off).
Angular velocities3D-IMU angular ratescan be used, for example, to analyse driving and vehicle dynamics (tyres/suspension, drifting, ...).
Acceleration rates3D IMU acceleration ratescan be used, for example. Driving quality analysis and predictive maintenance.
GeofencesConfigurablecircular geofences are useful for e.g. theft prevention, security, automation and more
TimestampThehigh-precision epoch timestamp is useful, e.g. when synchronising the CANedge real-time clock.
