Road noise engineering: state-of-the-art methodology for characterizing tires and suspensions

Is it possible to predict the road noise performance of a virtual vehicle prototype from component test bench data? Component-based Transfer Path Analysis (C-TPA) promises to do exactly that, answering to the industries increased focus and pressure on road noise engineering due to vehicle electrification. This session will explain our state-of-the-art methodology for characterizing two particularly challenging components (tires and suspensions) in their dynamic operational boundary conditions. Next, hybrid virtual vehicle prototypes will be created by connecting these test-based component models to simulation-based vehicle body models for objective and subjective road noise assessment in early design stages.
