Driving Simulators

Driving simulators are the ultimate development tool, and VI-grade’s driving simulators are the industry standard. Regardless of the type of vehicle you're developing, the discipline you're investigating, the frequency range you're working on, or how much or how little available space you have in your engineering facilities.VI-grade has the Driving Simulator to meet your development needs! VI-grade Driving Simulators are COMPLETE, UNIQUE and OPEN. COMPLETE because they are turn-key solutions and cover the complete design cycle from concept to sign-off, UNIQUE because they are based on a patented architecture, and OPEN because they easily interface with commonly used 3rd party software that’s required during the development process.

  • DESKTOP Simulator is the entry level solution in the driving simulators product line provided by VI-grade. It offers the possibility to test drive your vehicle directly from your desk, validating its basic behaviour. Highlight of this solution is the AutoHawk real-time computer, that provides the full power of a hard-real-time system, with RedHawk Linux RTOS and SIMulation Workbench. The DESKTOP Simulator features a steering wheel and pedals and it can be placed directly on your desk. It is the perfect solution for those engineers who want to start using a Driving Simulator to boost simulation activities and to test models in real-time whilst getting a subjective feeling. The DESKTOP Simulator (here shown in its PLUS configuration with driver seat) from VI-grade is the ideal tool for automotive OEMs that wish to use a desktop technology to prepare models to be used later on a more advanced simulator (COMPACT, STATIC and DiM) and that need to quickly test specific components. This kind of simulator can also be used by universities and research centers, to develop and test dedicated control algorithms, as well as to expose their students to driving simulator technologies.
  • COMPACT Simulator features a driver’s seat, a fully-adjustable steering wheel, dashboard, pedals, gear stick and screen and is small enough to be placed directly in your office. With its carbon-fiber cockpit, the COMPACT Simulator is the perfect solution for those companies wanting to start using a Driving Simulator to boost simulation activities and to test models in real-time while getting a subjective feeling. VI-grade’s COMPACT Simulator is the ideal tool for automotive OEMs wanting to prepare models to be used for a more advanced simulator (both STATIC and DiM) and needing to quickly test specific components. The COMPACT Simulator is also an ideal solution for Tier 1 suppliers needing to ensure that their components will work well when inserted into a more complex vehicle model.
