NVH desktop driving simulator - the bridge between test and simulation

Vehicle development cycles are shrinking, engineers must find ways to keep up. Desktop driving simulators enable data validation and understanding of results. By providing a repeatable and controlled evaluation environment engineers can conduct subjective evaluations under consistent conditions. Simulators are a must have asset to anyone who must understand, evaluate, and optimize the NVH characteristics of vehicles, ultimately leading to improved vehicle design and customer satisfaction.
