DRIVING SIMULATOR APPLICATION FOR TIRE ASSESSMENT
Thursday 22 September 2022 16:00
In the recent years virtual development has become an integral part of the vehicle/tire development process in the automotive industry. Traditionally, in the standard development process, the use of simulation tools is already widely applied (e.g., FEM analysis, MBD simulations). However, with a stronger focus on reducing the number of physical prototypes, it becomes more important to be able to assess those virtual prototypes and receive subjective driver feedback. Driving Simulator Technology is enabling this link between virtual prototyping and testing virtual prototypes in various driving scenarios. Goodyear is committed to digitize its tire development process by introducing Driving Simulator Technology globally, offering a new path towards collaborative tire development with its customers. Goodyear acquired the first dynamic driving simulator end of 2019 and the installation in the Innovation Center in Akron, Ohio was completed by the end of 2020.
