Challenges

Physics-based vehicle simulation is required for many applications, including vehicle design and controller development for multi-axle commercial and military vehicles. The accuracy and validity of simulation results depend on the accuracy of vehicle models used in simulation.

Why TruckSim?

TruckSim enables engineers to simulate the performance of multi-axle and multi-trailer commercial, construction, mining, military, and agricultural vehicles. TruckSim is the universally preferred truck dynamics simulation software for analyzing vehicle behavior, developing controllers, calculating vehicle performance characteristics, and engineering next-generation active safety systems.

Benefits

Ease of use

Accelerate vehicle development using an efficient, user-friendly interface and accessible analysis tools.

Comprehensiveness

Conduct comprehensive vehicle simulation and validation using example datasets for vehicles, roads, and scenarios.

Flexibility

Adapt to unique requirements, integrate with industry-standard interfaces like MATLAB/Simulink and FMI/FMU, and use APIs and plug-ins to connect to tools such as Unreal and custom code.

Key components

Vehicle models

TruckSim uses accurate, detailed, and efficient vehicle math models for simulating the performance of commercial, construction, mining, military, and agricultural vehicles. TruckSim models capture important edge cases of vehicle limit behavior, allowing users to trust simulation results to match real-world testing.

High-quality graphics

Utilize behavior models that follow routes and avoid collisions intelligently. TruckSim models simulate high-fidelity dynamics for cars, trucks, SUVs, and other vehicles.

Example datasets

To assist first-time users, TruckSim provides numerous vehicles, roads, and procedure examples for use in hundreds of sample datasets.

Scalable software platform

TruckSim math models run faster than in real time thanks to the efficient methods used to define the models. This means that engineers can run software-in-the-loop (SIL), driver-in-the-loop (DIL), or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests using the same parametric data and models.
