“TruckSim was used to study offset loads and provide guidelines to body builders, resulting in trucks with high customer satisfaction. It also helped to define new test procedures feeding into braking and handling development for future products.”

Customer challenge

Without high-quality vehicle dynamics, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) simulations can be inaccurate, unreliable, and unrepresentative of the real world.

Developing accurate models takes time

Simulations must reflect the real world

Undetected problems can cause significant delays

Applied Intuition’s solution

Applied Intuition’s vehicle dynamics software enables highly accurate and reliable virtual testing for ADAS and AD systems.
