In this day and age, a comfortable driving experience is one of the major differentiators when it comes to purchasing a vehicle, be it autonomous or driven.

As customer expectations continue to change, engineers need to explore complex automotive solutions to meet customer requirements. Several cutting edge-technologies such as chassis and control systems are incorporated to modernize automobiles.

These driving simulators are widely used to connect the dots between CAE models and sign-off.

Ride & Handling: Hardware & Software Solutions

• Static & DiM Simulator
  The Static Simulator provides a realistic view of a vehicle whereas the DiM Simulator comes with high manoeuvrability capabilities and provides a motion response with 9 DOF.
• Passenger Car Cockpit
  This immersive, realistic and ergonomically designed driving simulator allows engineers and designers to design products according to customer needs. It’s CANbus interface allows multi-integration and co-simulation.
• Active Systems
  The active system driving simulator consists of a body contact system to enhance the experience of immersion and steady-state accelerations. It enables engineers and designers to replicate exact responses caused by active belts, seats and brake components.
• Shakers
  Shakers are used to simulate and analyse the steering wheel, pedals, seat, and gear shifter of a vehicle. They are known to generate calibrated vibrations from 20 to 150Hz.
• Software-in-the-loop
  Software-in-the-loop allows engineers to use active systems and controllers straight within the simulation. The parameters used in these simulators can be tweaked according to customer requirements. Further, it provides a platform that enables testing and development of new real-time vehicle models.
• Hardware-in-the-loop
  In this platform, active control strategies are tested against all possible working scenarios. The effectiveness of the control strategy, possible failure conditions and safety aspects form a crucial part of this simulator.
