Honeywell Sensors Enable Autonomous Operations for Industrial Vehicles
Honeywell’s new Transportation Attitude Reference Sensor (TARS) is a packaged sensor array that enables autonomous vehicle characteristics and enhances efficiency for heavy-duty, off-highway vehicles.
The sensor can report vehicle angular rate, acceleration, and inclination data for construction equipment, such as excavators, skid steer loaders, and backhoes. The TARS inertial measurement unit integrates with a vehicle’s electronic control unit to provide actionable information about the movement of the machine.
