Nexen Tire, nan Korea-based tyre manufacturer, has installed a high-dynamic driving simulator astatine its cardinal investigation institute, The Nexen UniverCity, successful Magok, Seoul. According to nan institution this marks nan first take of specified a simulator successful nan Korean tyre industry, and represents a cardinal turning constituent successful advancing tyre investigation and improvement pinch VR and AI technologies.
The High Dynamic Driving Simulator simulates real-world conditions successful a virtual environment, enabling testing of acceleration, steering response, braking, and different capacity metrics successful a assortment of driving conditions. By utilizing nan simulator successful its tyre improvement work, Nexen anticipates it will minimise unnecessary trial-and-error, trim prototype accumulation and existent conveyance testing, and accelerate invention – each while reducing costs.
Nexen Tire besides expects nan simulator will alteration it to meet original instrumentality (OE) capacity requirements from world automakers much swiftly and accurately. In particular, it is expected to fortify collaboration successful processing tyres for caller conception and high-performance vehicles.
As nan adjacent step, Nexen Tire plans to gradually found a afloat virtual improvement process that integrates finite constituent method (FEM) study and AI technologies, pinch nan semipermanent extremity of replacing each its tyre tests pinch simulation-based validation.
“Ahead of nan manufacture inclination toward virtual improvement of vehicles and tyres, nan constitution of our High Dynamic Driving Simulator is simply a strategical finance to lead nan early mobility sector,” said John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of Nexen Tire. “By combining VR and AI technologies, we will heighten some nan ratio and precision of our R&D while contributing to ESG management.”
