Driving Dynamics

Driving dynamics is one of the main characteristics to define the perceived quality of a car. It is all about comfort, performance, safety, and driving pleasure. This is largely driven by factors such as stability, agility, and drivability. Impacted by the increased use of lightweight body structures and electric, active systems, manufacturers pursue solutions to design for an optimal vehicle handling performance.

Siemens Digital Industries Software helps manufacturers to achieve outstanding vehicle handling performance by integrating test and simulation in the entire engineering process. Our tools and services enable car makers to ensure their vehicle has precisely the desired driving characteristics.

To engineer a vehicle with outstanding driving characteristics, a large variety of safety and vehicle handling factors have to be considered, such as drivability, stability, agility, and control. These factors have to be combined with targets for ride comfort and low road noise levels. The trend towards automated driving urges the demand for vehicle dynamics models for virtual validation of the autonomous driving functions, while the cumulative integration of active control systems adds even more complexity to these challenging tasks.

Siemens Digital Industries Software provides dedicated tools and services to bring efficiency to driving dynamics engineering, whether it considers steering, braking and suspension systems, tyres, control applications, ride and handling scenarios, subjective feeling, ADAS applications or balancing the vehicle’s dynamics performance with road noise, comfort, ride and handling, durability or crash safety. Our solutions help manufacturers to set vehicle dynamics targets and integrate high fidelity driving dynamics engineering into the vehicle system simulation process. Meeting low emission requirements, translating brand identity in specific driving feel and enhancing safety and comfort is accomplished with increased efficiency and at reduced cost.
