Changan has become the first car manufacturer to put Continental’s MK 120 ESC – an electronic brake system for Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in passenger cars – into series production. The Chinese car maker is equipping its latest Oshan X5 Plus and Uni-T models with the brake system
With Google on software, Qualcomm on hardware, and now Valeo’s High-Performance Computer, Renault Group continues to develop its tech ecosystem and its advances in the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) value chain
Out 20th anniversary issue! The May 2023 issue of Vehicle Dynamics International magazine is now available online, with features including Polestar’s chief chassis engineer discussing how to optimise the dynamics of a performance EV, EV-focused developments in tyre engineering, and 20 years of dynamics highlights
The newly developed cubiX software – ZF’s first pure software product –controls all chassis systems to achieve a harmonious blend of smooth acceleration and braking, precise steering, and balanced damping. The intelligent networking of all chassis systems can enable optimally controlled longitudinal, lateral and vertical dynamics
A new simulation technology for the development of AVs and ADAS can accurately simulate how a vehicle’s sensor system perceives the world, enabling sensor systems to be fully developed in the simulated world. Key to the technology is ray tracing rendering, a SIL system that generates synthetic training data
A pedestrian target for ADAS testing has been launched by AB Dynamics and Dynamic Research, with features including active limb articulation and automatic synchronisation for a realistic gait
Following OEM assessments, Easyrain says its AIS anti-aquaplaning system and DAI detection software will soon enter the industrialisation stage, with virtual sensors for ice, snow and car setup in an advanced stage of development
A collaboration has been created between between IPG Automotive and TraceTronic, to link two software solutions closer together that will enable a seamless test process at every stage of vehicle software development for ADAS and autonomous driving (AD) functions – from MIL, SIL and HIL to VIL
Elaphe and McLaren Applied are collaborating to create an in-wheel propulsion system, coupling McLaren Applied’s inverter technology with Elaphe’s direct-drive in-wheel motors and control software, and multiple-wheel drive controls and vehicle controls
A method for testing Emergency Steering Support (ESS) systems to accompany the new Euro NCAP test protocol due to take effect in January 2023 has been developed by AB Dynamics, in collaboration with Euro NCAP’s test labs and various OEMs
