E-mobility: optimized driving dynamics for increased comfort, safety and efficiency

To accurately determine and mitigate all relevant forces impacting a vehicle on the road – whether for personal, professional, heavy-haul transport or other commercial use – can be challenging. Particularly, when the latest advances in sustainable automotive technology bring about a range of alternative vehicle components and mechanics.

Electric cars and trucks, for instance, no longer sport disconnecting clutches, nor do they utilize similar gear stages compared to traditional fuel-operated vehicles; their high-voltage batteries shift the center of gravity; unique rotation and braking forces come into play that differ materially from traditional vehicles. All of which tends to create new areas of pressure, strain, friction, rotation, vibration and shock absorption.

Pair that with diverse road and climate conditions, individual speeds and driving styles, a variety of materials used in manufacturing as well as other factors … and it becomes easy to see how the accurate testing, evaluation and implementation of appropriate measures to manage these critical factors – and their compounded impact – becomes a crucial determinator of driving dynamics and comfort. More than that: the slightest imbalance, over time, can wear down yourself or your driver; it also wears out your vehicle faster, leading to safety hazards, decreased efficiency and costly repair.

In partnership with global car, truck and commercial vehicle manufacturers, ASC tailors its high-precision Inertial Measurement Unit IMU7 to their very needs. A compact, flexible “toolbox”, the ASC IMU7 offers a diverse range of robust sensors combining accelerometers and gyroscopes required to meet the high standards of vehicle testing.

Based on this unique modular concept allowing for custom configuration by our specialized engineers in close collaboration with your team, it has never been easier to optimize driving dynamics in real-world conditions. To keep your vehicles on the road, their passengers and freight safe, and your business productive.
