VI-grade, an automotive simulation company, has entered into a partnership with Step Lab, an expert in static, dynamic and impact testing machines. The collaboration aims to provide a turnkey integrated mechanical hardware-in-the-loop (mHiL) testing technology for automotive shock absorbers
Running at 80% power with a 155mph speed limit during testing, Max Chilton still set a record lap time of 54.559s at the UK’s Castle Combe Circuit in a validation prototype of the McMurtry Spéirling Pure fan car. And there’s more to come, as further record attempts will be made throughout the world in 2024 and 2025, as the test programme moves towards 100% power and 100% downforce settings
Researchers at Coventry University in the UK have contributed their expertise as technical authors for a new guide to operating autonomous vehicles. The guide, titled ’BSI Flex 1887 – Human Factors for Remote Operation of Vehicles – Guide v1.0’ has been developed with the aim of establishing good practices for the remote monitoring, assistance and operation of self-driving vehicles
In response to Euro NCAP’s test scenarios requiring child pedestrian targets, AB Dynamics has launched a child version of its pedestrian ADAS target, the Soft Pedestrian 360. The target features a child-specific gait, a modular architecture, and a soft, lightweight structure
NISMO, the motorsport division of Nissan, has chosen rFpro as its Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulation software provider. NISMO will use the software to develop the team’s race cars across its racing programmes, including Super GT
The Virtual Proving Ground for VI-WorldSim is designed to offer a unique virtual environment for vehicle testing, development and validation in the automotive industry
LABA7’s new power supply system enables electromagnetic shock dynos to operating from standard power outlets, making advanced testing accessible to all
EDAG Group’s Simulation Center in Wolfsburg, Germany, gives automotive customers the power to ‘Test Before You Build’ through a suite of VI-grade driving simulator technologies
Switching to electric powertrains leads to high axle loads, and thus the optimisation of driving dynamics and driving-resistance measurement requires even more precise measurement technologies. Kistler’s P109 wheel torque transducer has a measuring range of up to 9,000Nm, with precise measurement results, even with high axle loads
