Physical testing of new automobiles is often a lengthy and expensive process. Capital costs associated with physical testing include production of prototype vehicles and travel to various locations around the world of personnel and equipment. Aside from the cost, the amount of resource time required to embark on a comprehensive testing programme is far from ideal, often constraining the product development process. The environmental impact of such testing programmes should also be considered. This paper presents how the VeSyMA suite of Modelica libraries contains the necessary features to address the above concerns, by recreating 2 typical physical proving ground tests in the virtual world; a high speed accelerated durability test using a test track and rough-road structural testing. Key new features added to the VeSyMA suite to enable this are presented, namely: a new method of defining the proving ground road model using GPS and body accelerometer data, a new driver model capable of conducting a series of scheduled driving tasks (mimicking a human test driver) and new tyre contact models more suitable to typical proving ground rough roads. Each new development is explained in detail, along with additional options available to VeSyMA users to add further fidelity to their simulations. Qualitive results of these tests are presented using a generic vehicle model, demonstrating the capability of the VeSyMA suite to recreate these real-world proving ground tests in the virtual environment.
