VMC® Simulation is a module within the VMC® -Suite providing simulation methods for the vehicle performance in any region of the world.
The most important fields of applications for any type of road vehicle e.g. passenger cars, VANs, trucks are:
- Durability of suspension, chassis, vehicle body, drivetrain (engine, gearboxes, ...)
- Fuel consumption
- Emission
The basic idea is to combine geo-referenced data such as typical user routes, topography, or traffic with driver and vehicle models of different complexity in order to obtain a deeper understanding of the vehicle’s performance with respect to durability or drivetrain.
