Driving Simulators: Engineers Need Explorations into How Models Feel
Engineers design a car’s subjective feel using driving simulators and simulation models.
Some of the obvious applications of engineering-based driving simulators include the optimization of:
- Ride and handling
- Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
- Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AVs)
- Human-machine interfaces (HMIs)
- Motorsport vehicles
“It’s hard to have a model with a bunch of numbers tell you if that subjective feel is good or bad,”
said Tony Spagnuolo, vice president of Business Development at VI-grade.
“Simulators are that one step further to make those models that much more effective.”
