The devices are placed at different positions in or outside the vehicle.<br>Usually:<br>\u2022 GNSS antenna is mounted on the roof<br>\u2022 ADMA close to the center console or in the boot<br>\u2022 External velocity sensor on the side, front or rear of the vehicle.<br>The distance between the individual components is termed \u201clever arm\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a consequence, the position measured by the GNSS antenna does not correspond to the <em>virtual measuring point<\/em> (reference point: Point Of Interest). An uncompensated lever arm also causes roll, pitch and course changes which need to be registered as errors in the form of position discrepancies. With data output V3.x it is possible to define up to eight POI\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the speed measured at the installation position of the external velocity sensor is not equal to the speed at the <em>virtual measuring point<\/em>. While the vehicle is travelling through a corner or in a circle, the speed measured by a sensor which is mounted on the vehicle&#8217;s outer side is higher than the speed measured in the middle of the vehicle or inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installation positions are compensated by specifying the position vectors ADMA relative to GNSS antenna and ADMA relative to external speed sensor. With these lever arms the GNSS sensor data and the sensor data of the external speed sensor are factored into the calculation of the position such ensuring the correct transformation of ADMA related data to the POI. The position vectors are entered and edited in the ADMA Webinterface Offsets dialog. For determination of the installation position a folding rule or reference tape is completely adequate.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"465\" height=\"856\" src=\"https:\/\/genesys-offenburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bild_2022-05-10_141735385.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genesys-offenburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bild_2022-05-10_141735385.png 465w, https:\/\/genesys-offenburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bild_2022-05-10_141735385-163x300.png 163w, https:\/\/genesys-offenburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bild_2022-05-10_141735385-300x552.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Webinterface: 6\ufe0f\u20e3 <strong>Parameters<\/strong> \/ Mounting Offsets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-single-antenna-mounting-offsets\">Single antenna mounting offsets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The position vector for the GNSS antenna consists of all three components (X, Y, Z) and refers to the ADMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"279\" src=\"https:\/\/genesys-offenburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genesys-offenburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-15.jpg 650w, https:\/\/genesys-offenburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-15-300x129.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"663\" height=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/genesys-offenburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genesys-offenburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-16.jpg 663w, https:\/\/genesys-offenburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-16-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-virtual-measuring-point-poi-point-of-interest\">Virtual measuring point (POI &#8211; point of interest)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the ADMA is not mounted directly at the required measuring location, then a lever arm exists between the <em>virtual measurement point<\/em> (<strong>P<\/strong>oint <strong>O<\/strong>f <strong>I<\/strong>nterest \/ <strong>POI<\/strong>) and <strong>M<\/strong>easuring <strong>R<\/strong>eference <strong>P<\/strong>oint of the ADMA (<strong>MRP<\/strong>).
