DESCRIPTION
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
•
•
The Transportation Attitude Reference Sensor or TARS-IMU
is a packaged sensor array designed to report vehicle angular
rate, acceleration, and inclination for demanding applications
in industries such as heavy duty, off-highway transportation.
TARS-IMU enables autonomous vehicle characteristics and
enhances efficiency and productivity by reporting key data
required to automate and monitor movements of vehicle
systems and components. The sensor fusion algorithm can be
customized for specific vehicle applications through on-board
firmware, allowing movement data to be filtered for extraneous
environment and vehicle movements.
With two sensor models for different power levels, TARS-
IMU accommodates both 5 V and 9 V to 36 V vehicle power
systems. While communication is carried to the vehicle
through industry standard CAN J1939 connectivity.
As a standard, TARS-IMU is calibrated on aerospace-grade
rate tables at the factory to provide calibration consistency
between units.
