Reduced development times for motor vehicles due to innovative technologies and frequent model changes require the use of virtual design methods in the entire development process.

The simulation-based investigation of driving dynamics properties plays an important role in this context.

The FKFS is a competent development partner for a variety of driving dynamics simulation tasks:

• Total vehicle and component models
• Driver models
• Tire models [pdf]
• Environmental simulation
• Active and passive chassis systems
• Chassis design and chassis concept development
• Estimating and determining driving conditions
• Subjective and objective evaluations of driving properties
• Subjective and objective evaluation of driving behavior with crosswind [pdf]
• Subjective and objective evaluation of driver-vehicle interaction [pdf]
• Driver assistance systems
• Driving dynamics control
• Total system examinations
• Parameter variations and detail optimizations
• Model verifications
• Driving dynamics development environment
