DEWETRON systems are widely used in ride handling applications of all kinds. Test tracks and automotive centers all over the world rely on our data acquisition systems for the most demanding ride handing and vehicle dynamics testing applications that there are. From South Korea to Germany, from the deserts of Arizona and Mexico to the frozen north of Canada and Norway, DEWETRON is there.
Cars and trucks are designed on computers, and built by robots under computer control. But there is no substitute for testing the car with a human being, under a wide variety of road conditions and environments. That's where ride handling tests start. Most vehicle manufacturers have their own test track or proving grounds, where they can put their creations to the test. What normal people would consider "subjective criteria" like how a car "feels" under certain conditions must be precisely quantified and then tested over and over again, on every vehicle. Usually the outer ring of the track is for high speed highway tests, while the center contains duplicates of city roads built with a wide array of surfaces, suburban sections, dirt roads, tight loops, and crazy-looking suspension tests.
Our portable packages and rugged construction makes DEWETRON products popular for ride handling, driveability, vehicle dynamics, and related applications.
