Static Driving Simulator

The static simulator is a class-leading solution that takes components proven moving-base simulator to deliver a cost-effective product that customers can use to save time and money in automotive development. The chassis features integrated electronics and PC hardware that enables the aVDS-S to be easily moved around a building through single-width door apertures.

The aVDS-S includes a high-fidelity steering actuator developed from  track testing product technology that enables the handwheel output from steering models to be faithfully recreated. The direct drive, low-friction, zero cogging, high-bandwidth motor technology has the same continuous torque rating and peak torque capability as our distinguished advanced Vehicle Driving Simulator.

Features:

1. High stiffness console and user configurable digital dashboard

2. Single bright high-quality monitor

3. Integrated electronics (no separate cabinets)

4. Compact in size, easy to install

5. Compatible software with most major automotive simulation software offerings along with ourrobots for performing ADAS testing in simulation

Integrated toolchain

The aVDS-S is supplied with the Simpia simulation control software that is common to all AB Dynamics' simulator product offerings. The recommended virtual testing software is from rFpro, an AB Dynamics  group company. The combination of Simpia and rFpro enable the majority of engineering-grade simulation modelling tools to be quickly integrated into any of AB Dynamics' simulator products.

System options

We offer tailored solutions to cater for all simulation requirements.

1. Chassis options

•Active seat with pneumatically inflatable seatbelt providing sustained lateral cueing and additional useful feedback

•Active vertical-ride dynamic actuators

•Active brake pedal developed from AB Dynamics' track testing product technology. The dual passive/active design enables realistic brake pedal feel to be recreated including both quasi-static and higher frequency characteristics

2. Display options

•Single screen mounted directly to aVDS-S chassis

•Triple screen (and additional graphics PC to drive screens 2 and 3).

•Full projection system

Standard visuals are provided by a 100cm simulator-grade screen that can be used in daylight conditions. The optional triple screen configuration provides additional immersion and rigid mounting structure to ensure that the three screens are correctly aligned.
