Deakin University in Australia is investing in an automotive motion simulator platform facility, due to open in late 2021. The driver-in-the-loop platform is intended to provide research and innovation support for both driver-based and autonomous mobility technologies
AB Dynamics has developed what it claims is the world’s fastest self-propelled vulnerable road user test platform, meeting the speed requirements of Euro NCAP’s incoming test protocols
Rohde & Schwarz and Vector Informatik are collaborating on hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) validation of automotive radar sensors, combining simulation and over-the-air radar stimulation
An NVH simulator has been developed to address what its developers have identified as an “unmet need” of development engineers at OEMs and suppliers to fully and accurately experience vehicle vibration at all driver touchpoints, along with noise, using measurement technology with a small footprint
rFpro has created an engineering-grade digital model of the Applus IDIADA proving ground, which enables the development and testing of vehicle dynamics, ADAS and autonomous systems
A high-tech automated system has been installed at Lotus’s final assembly plant in Hethel, which helps ensure Emira customers will enjoy the exact dynamic setup its engineers created. Non-contact 3D measuring technology ensures the optimal chassis geometry, while ADAS is correctly calibrated, and roll mode, brake operation and ABS are on point
Watch how racing and development driver Frank Stippler set a new compact car class lap record on the Nordschleife in the 2021 Audi RS 3 Saloon
The 2021 Audi RS 3 Saloon has set a new lap record for the compact car class on the Ring, beating the Renault Megane RS Trophy R by 4.64 seconds. Audi says that, above all, the torque splitter, with fully variable torque distribution on the rear axle, contributed most to the record time of 7:40.748
Thyssenkrupp Bilstein is opening a new site next to the Nürburgring, which will be used to develop damper and suspension products. The site has easy access to the legendary track, and will house a seven-post vertical dynamics test stand
