Beacon (VIPS-B-V1) Installation
When first considering a VIPS installation or demonstration, it is important to understand the shape and size of the test
area and thus the minimum number of beacons that will be required.

Racelogic recommend placing the beacons in a ‘Square’ formation with spacing between the beacons of around 25–30
m, as below.
If operating in an outdoor/indoor mode, then the rover will not switch to use the VBOX IPS until 6 beacons are in view.
This means that it is only the first 6 beacons that will need to be placed closer together to ensure that 6 beacons are in
view before the vehicle enters the test area. The remaining beacons can be placed with a greater separation so long as
