Driving Simulator

JOIN US ON THE ROAD
TO SMART TESTING

VI-grade and HBK are transforming product development through Smart Testing.

The question is no longer “Should we simulate or test?” but “How do we combine them intelligently?”

Smart Testing connects virtual and physical testing through data, AI-powered analytics and integrated workflows. Simulation validates and optimizes physical tests, whereas physical data strengthens and refines virtual twins.

The result: faster decisions, shorter development cycles and smarter products.

Applications

It’s all about fine tuning your chassis, developing the right balance, selecting the right tires, tuning the transmission, setting up seamless control systems, to achieve the best driver experience.

Design and engineer the sound of your vehicle to meet brand and customer expectations, before building the first prototype.

Test your algorithms and automatic systems in a safe and collaborative environment, to validate ADAS functions integrating software and hardware sensors.

Evaluate your HMI criteria with a real car cockpit and dashboard and develop new interfaces, in a controlled and easy-to-modify environment.

VI-grade driving simulators help put the driver in front of the toughest conditions, in the most realistic and safest way.

Our software

A new, user-friendly, fully integrated graphic environment that accelerates vehicle development offline and on Driving Simulators.

A single vehicle model that can be used from concept to sign-off, enabling to accelerate your vehicle development process.

Bring your NVH data to life, fostering a comprehensive understanding of your vehicle's acoustic landscape.

Our simulators

These are the entry-level driving simulators by VI-grade. They enable to test-drive your vehicle directly from your desk, validating their basic R&H and NVH behavior.

All main features of our driving simulators in a simple cockpit. A simulator for engineers to subjectively and quickly understand handling, ADAS and NVH vehicle behavior.

Built from a real car, our STATIC Simulators allows engineers and test drivers to work together in the development of new vehicle concepts. These simulators are suitable for ADAS, HMI and NVH evaluation.

Our actuator-driven family of dynamic simulators aimed to help virtually develop new cars in the lab. These multi-disciplinary tools ensure early, high-quality system integration in the development process.

The newest addition to the DiM family, it enables to go beyond the mechanical barriers of other simulator architectures. These simulators guarantee high adaptability and top-class performances.

Combining Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) and Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) testing with driving simulator technology accelerates getting to Zero Prototypes.
