Variations Beyond Your Requirements

The Noise, Vibration, and Harshness Sector, a collection of eight unique surfaces in one restricted area, is in the central-east portion of the complex and provides a secure location to test vehicle sensors’ exposure to noise, vibrations, and surface harshness. Supporting up to three users simultaneously, this area can be segmented into three smaller test spaces to provide maximum flexibility and efficiency.

In addition to the various surfaces is the adjacent External Noise Track, which consists of a two-lane straightaway with a loop at either end for continuous circulation. The interior of the northern loop is fully paved to test lateral force application and braking scenarios and can support up to six vehicles and ten users simultaneously, depending on the testing scenario.
