Leading tire manufacturer acquires Ansible Motion Theta C compact driving simulator to assist with research and development work.
In order to expand its research, development and simulation capabilities, Michelin is installing a new Ansible Motion Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulator at their North America R&D center in Greenville, South Carolina, USA. The Theta C simulator connects real people with detailed simulation environments, enabling virtual test driving and evaluation of tire-road-vehicle interactions in advance and in parallel with physical testing. Continuing its tradition of industry-leading technical innovations, Michelin is the first company to take delivery of an Ansible Motion Theta C simulator since the product was formally launched.
