Transportation Attitude Reference System Inertial Measurement Unit (TARS-IMU) Motion Sensor

Honeywell Sensing's 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. It 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 TARS-IMU is calibrated on aerospace-grade rate tables at the factory to provide calibration consistency between units.
