MB Dynamics Announces The Global Market Introduction of Its In-Car Driver Simulator

October 31, 2022 – Cleveland, Ohio, USA – MB Dynamics, Inc. (www.mbdynamics.com), the industry leader in the design and manufacture of vibration test systems and equipment, including buzz, squeak, and rattle (BSR), steering, LED and HUD displays, and suspension component test systems; modal exciters and amplifiers; single and multi-DUT automated accelerometer calibration systems; dynamic controllers; transducer calibration systems; and engineering services, today announced the global market introduction of its In-Car Driver Simulator.

The MB Dynamics In-Car Driver Simulator is used to test and evaluate steering systems for: road-excited column and rack rattles: functional noises by repeatably controlling customer driving maneuvers; NVH issues; durability; and steering performance design verification. This system is useful to vehicle OEMs and steering system/component suppliers. MB Dynamics customers are able to benchmark their vehicle steering system to their quality standards and benchmark it to competitors’ products.

The MB Dynamics non-hydraulic In-Car Driver Simulator technology is quiet both acoustically and electrically. This gives you greater opportunity to identify, diagnose, and resolve root causes of annoying noises and performance issues in Electric Power Steering (EPS), Electric Power Hydraulic Steering (EPHS), Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS), Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and Automated Driving (AD) steering technologies. The In-Car Driver Simulator like many MB Dynamics test systems can also be adapted for use in a Hardware in the Loop (HIL) test system. This system enables you to correlate experiments and validate the power assist steering control system and its transfer functions to help achieve objective and subjective NVH metrics and characterize steering sensitivity and performance.

The In-Car Driver Simulator from MB Dynamics is part of a complete suite of steering system testing hardware and software. Please visit www.MBDynamics.com for further information, or send us an email [email protected], or call +1-216-292-5850.
