DriSMi, the dynamic driving simulator at Politecnico di Milano, is a cutting-edge tool in the automotive sector. It allows users to virtually test any type of vehicle even before building physical prototypes. By developing mathematical models of vehicle components or driver-assistance systems (ADAS), it’s possible to directly experience the impact of new features.
The simulator accelerates the entire process of vehicle design, prototyping, and testing, significantly reducing both time and associated costs. Moreover, it enables testing in a fully safe, controlled, and repeatable environment, ensuring reliable and reproducible results.
“Our adoption of a DYNAMIC Driving Simulator based on the most innovative technologies and equipped with redundant degrees of freedom for a proper separation between low and high frequency motions is possible thanks to a substantial investment from the Government of the Lombardy Region, dedicated to sustainable mobility solutions” said prof. Ferruccio Resta, Rector of the Politecnico di Milano. “The simulator will allow Software and Hardware-in-the-Loop (SiL and HiL) studies and validations, giving us the opportunity to participate together with selected partners in research projects dedicated to ground vehicle engineering, road safety and future vehicles.”
The project has been promoted by the Lombardy Mobility Cluster, under the supervision of the Lombardy Region Government, with the aim to create a pole for serving the automotive companies of the Lombard regional cluster, ranked fourth at European level.
