ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 24, 2010 – Geely Automobile, a large automotive manufacturer based in Zhejiang Linhai, China, highlighted tire blow out control technology (BMBS) using a motion-based driving simulator delivered by Mechanical Simulation Corporation, Ann Arbor, Mich. The interactive driving simulator features three degrees of freedom – roll, pitch and yaw – and is controlled by the simulation software CarSim for Driving Simulators.
Mechanical Simulation developed a custom multimedia scenario, featuring the famous Hangzhou Bay Bridge, to allow visitors at the exhibition to drive a virtual Geely Panda with the BMBS systems active or disabled. With the BMBS technology integrated into CarSim, customers immediately experienced how the safety technology helps drivers maintain control of their vehicle in the event of a high-speed tire blow out.
The simulator features a 140-degree panoramic display system, operational instrument gauges, high-torque force feedback steering system, 5.1 surround sound system and multiple traffic vehicles to make the driving experience as realistic as possible. Dr. Jin Hu of Mechanical Simulation explains, “Geely Automobile selected CarSim since the technology is known throughout the world as the most accurate and validated vehicle simulation tool for automotive engineering and driving simulators. CarSim, the technology that runs the driving simulator, can be used by Geely engineers to test and develop next-generation safety and vehicle control systems. It was very important for them to provide their customers with a real world experience in the simulator.”
