Road Simulation Systems

Recreate real-world forces and motions inside the lab

MTS brings more than four decades of experience to the science of road simulation. We redefined vehicle structural testing with the first “four-poster” tire-coupled road simulator more than 45 years ago. Since that time, we have consistently delivered the technology manufacturers need to optimize designs faster and more cost-effectively.

We currently offer two families of road simulation systems to help you precisely reproduce the forces and motions associated with ground vehicle operating environments.

Highly versatile MTS tire-coupled road simulators address virtually any vehicle simulation application, including structural durability, ride comfort, buzz, squeak and rattle, end-of-line production quality, and racing vehicle optimization.

Industry-leading MTS spindle-coupled road simulators provide unmatched accuracy and repeatable reproduction of the most challenging proving ground road surfaces, maneuvers and events, combining up to six degrees of freedom with the most advanced durability testing capabilities and the highest laboratory simulation accuracy available anywhere.
