Innovative simulation technology
EDAG
The EDAG Group is to open a new Zero Prototype Lab in Wolfsburg, Germany, where vehicles, their functions and their driving dynamics will be comprehensively tested in realistic driving situations before the physical vehicle is created.
The center is the group's first vehicle dynamics simulation center and will start operations in May 2024. It will have three test platforms for research and development in the areas of hardware, software and human-machine interface (HMI). Driving a new vehicle virtually and testing its functions before it is physically built will not only reduce cost-intensive prototypes but also shorten development cycles.
The Zero Prototype Lab is home to a VI-grade Dynamic Simulator DiM500, the largest and most powerful cable-driven simulator for development, racing and research focusing on vehicle dynamics, vehicle movement and driver interaction. It enables users to reproduce vehicle dynamics maneuvers involving large planar displacements with no motion cueing, which allows drivers to immerse themselves in a virtual environment and experience realistic driving.
