Bridgestone advances virtual tire development with its driving simulator

Bridgestone has invested in a new driver-in-the-loop (DIL) simulator at its EMEA R&D Center near Rome in Italy. Complementing its virtual tire development (VTD) capabilities, the new simulator will enable Bridgestone to combine tire and vehicle simulations with AI technologies.

Bridgestone has used VTD for a decade. Having its own simulator will enable engineers to virtually recreate tire behavior, vehicle interaction and response in various conditions. With the help of AI, this combination supports faster assessment of many design options, accelerating development toward targets.
