Driver-in-Motion Full Spectrum Simulator

A Quantum Leap in Realism

The Driver-in-Motion Full Spectrum Dynamic Simulator (DiM FSS) is a real-time, Driver-in-the-Loop simulator which enables the complete experience of accurate motion, vibration and sound over the complete spectrum from 0 to 20kHz.

The DiM FSS is the first ever simulator capable of creating full vehicle motion with 9 degrees of freedom over a multi-meter workspace, together with accurate sound and vibration, resulting in a complete immersive experience.

This is the product of bringing together VI-grade's expertise in vehicle dynamics simulation and NVH simulation.

The DiM FSS is truly a game-changer in experiential simulation.

Previously, when evaluating future vehicles, the vehicle dynamics and NVH were assessed separately. Yet, driving integrates dynamics, ride quality, sound, and vibration. The most effective evaluation method is to combine all these elements in one simulation.

This unified approach is achieved by the DiM FSS's multi-stage system, which captures vehicle dynamics, motion, vibration, and sound for an integrated, realistic experience.
To accomplish this, the DiM FSS follows a 3-stage approach. The lower stage delivers primary vehicle motion, the middle stage provides full 6 DOF motion, and the final Hyperdock stage, a highly optimized carbon-fiber cockpit, delivers higher frequency vibration thanks to transducers at key driver touchpoints, while sound is provided through in-cockpit speakers or headphones.

This approach reduces mass, increases structural stiffness, and enhances simulation performance.

The DiM FSS provides the most immersive simulation environment for multi-attribute evaluation. And note that all actuator-based and cable-driven dynamic simulators from VI-grade can be upgraded with the Hyperdock.
