Technology to be able to simulate faster accelerations and higher velocities
As with any dramatic technological change, testing is essential before introducing anything to the real world. This is especially true for autonomous vehicles, which need be able to guarantee the safety of passengers and other road users. Renault is looking to develop new autonomous driving solutions, and has invested in a new simulation system in order to test them effectively.
Longer, higher, faster
To create a more accurate simulation, Renault asked for longer stroke lengths, higher velocities and faster accelerations. The stroke lengths help to give the simulation the space required to generate the sensation of continued acceleration and motion for longer, while a more modern approach was required to be able to meet Renault’s specification of velocities up to 9 m/s.
Solving challenges together
This simulator is unique in that it can accurately replicate different kinds of driving, from going fast on sweeping bends to slowly driving in a city. Any new technology, or new engineering approach, presents its own challenges, but VHT, together with AV Simulation and Renault, solved them all. Everyone in the whole team came together.
