Abstract In pursuit of constantly improving the development of the vehicle system and controls by means of quantifi cation of performance for the improvement of vehicle dynamics, we have developed a new simulator. The Dynamic Motion Simulator (DMS) is composed of a modular chassis mounted on five distinct Stewart platform Motion Bases (MB) controlled by real-time models. The chassis integrates mass-produced and prototype systems such as steering, suspension and driveline units along with its own electronic control unit. This paper describes the concept, realization and planned activities as well as report on the new possibilities of using the developed simulator as a research and development tool.
