Vehicle dynamics control systems for the steering, brake or active wheel suspensions continue to raise the safety and comfort of driving. There is an ongoing development of novel assistance systems that serve the optimization of vehicle dynamics as well as a situational influence on the driver behavior and a selective influence on the driver. The result is a significant increase in the effort required for validation during development. At the same time, more and more vehicle variants are reaching the market for each model. As the system must be tested for each vehicle variant, this is also associated with additional test effort. Use the simulation solutions of the CarMaker product family to test your vehicle dynamics and ride comfort control systems within a virtual prototype right up to the vehicle’s approval, long before a physical prototype exists.
