Benchmarking
See how you measure up
When you need to understand your competitors’ vehicles and why they behave like they do, we have the tools to make meaningful comparisons. AB Dynamics specialises in precise and repeatable motion control, and we offer a range of equipment which is suitable for benchmark testing.
Repeatable driving inputs
Our driving robots are used to provide perfectly repeatable driving inputs so you can be sure that you’ve eliminated driver variability between vehicles.
Line-on-line steering inputs allow detailed comparison of dynamic behaviour between vehicles. Add in pedal robots if you need to be sure of consistent speed and brake inputs – our modular system architecture means upgrade routes are clear.
The tool of choice
The Suspension Parameter Measurement Machine uses a sequence of tests to measure the parameters that characterise a vehicle’s suspension system, giving you a detailed understanding of its ride qualities.
The tool of choice for suspension and chassis engineers worldwide, it has been used for thousands of competitor benchmark tests giving valuable insights into a vehicle’s setup.
Test a complete steering system
The Steering System Test Machine allows you to test a complete steering system and understand the relationship between steering inputs and what happens at the road wheels.
Its flexible design makes it easy to mount a wide range of steering systems, so competitor testing is straightforward and efficient.
