Cruden is the world leader in interactive motion-based vehicle simulation. Trusted by the top engineers in F1 and vehicle manufacturers, Cruden driver-in-the-loop simulators efficiently improve road and race car development with unlimited testing – in less time, for less money.

Solving problems

Cost pressures and reductions in track testing time have elevated the role of the simulator in automotive, motorsport and driver development programmes. But only when engineering teams choose the right package, can the benefits of simulators – winning performances, on-time production or race readiness and cost reduction – be truly realized. Cruden understands its customers’ worlds and has responded with affordable, reliable, durable simulators that guarantee a consistent, repeatable testing environment. Cruden offers a turnkey service which covers simulator specification, manufacturing, installation and on-call support, as well as the ability to upgrade and maintain equipment in situ.

Highest accuracy

The dynamic 1-to-6 DOF electromechanical driving/racing motion simulator is the most realistic driver interface by which to continually test and adjust suspension, chassis, powertrain and tire parameters before the car turns a wheel. Backed up by 25 years’ development experience, Cruden’s motion-cueing algorithms, dynamic vehicle model software and detailed state-of-the-art graphics perform to the highest levels of accuracy. The high-bandwidth, direct drive force feedback benefits from a deep understanding of human physiology, gained by working within universities, research institutes, motorsport and industry at the highest levels.

Cruden simulators are fully compatible with Matlab/Simulink and offer seamless integration of simulation models through dSpace, CarSim and veDYNA.
