Product overview

The Soft Bicycle 360 from DRI reimagines the bicycle target, making bicycle testing scenarios easier, faster and more efficient than ever before. The lightweight foam rider, frame and tyre profile combine to make a realistic, yet durable target that minimises vehicle damage.

Stable at 40 km/h and designed to maximise track time, the Soft Bicycle 360 features a modular design that is engineered for quick rebuilds, and its reverse running feature allows for easy reposition and test reset.

Developed to provide unrivalled stability in straight lines and cornering, the Soft Bicycle 360 is perfect for current testing requirements and is ready to replicate more challenging scenarios in the future.  

Compatible with the SPT and LaunchPad range, including the LaunchPad Spin, the Soft Bicycle 360 offers a powerful solution for all surrogate bicycle testing needs.

Enhanced testing efficiency

The Independent Power Pack is a standalone power supply unit that is compatible with our full range of driving robots. Operating independently from the vehicle’s battery system, the Independent Power Pack ensures that the vehicle’s own systems have sufficient power, making it perfect for EV testing.

High energy-density cells provide full day of testing and with only 2 hours of charging time, the Independent Power Pack makes life on the track much easier.

Product overview

TrackFi PowerMesh is a dual-band wireless mesh network system providing data transfer and reliable communication between multiple vehicles, targets and a central base station. It offers high throughput and low latency data transfer between multiple vehicles, overcoming challenges such as high-speed testing, real-world interference, and obstacles, ensuring uninterrupted communication. Vehicles and other test objects are connected to a base station for real-time monitoring and control, enabling the synchronisation of all test objects for precise testing.

When paired with our Synchro software, TrackFi Powermesh enables highly complex test scenarios, which utilise multiple targets and vehicles. All AB Dynamics track test products are supported including all ADAS platforms and Driving Robots providing a comprehensive solution for ADAS testing, specific NCAP protocols and driverless durability and misuse testing.

Product overview

Capable of applying a pedal force of 1600 N at rate of 800 mm/s, the Rotary Brake Robot (RBR) 1500 is ideal for all brake applications, especially those that require high pedal forces such as system failure testing. With its ultra-powerful rotary actuator, the RBR 1500 can push the pedal faster and harder than most human drivers, ensuring consistent and realistic results.

Setup and control of the RBR is provided by our Robot Control (RC) Software. This software provides a user-friendly interface where predefined templates can be selected, which can then be configured to suit the users required pedal input. Control of the pedal input can be selected from stroke, force, acceleration, or mixed mode where the robot can swap is control parameter if required, giving the user the ability to input almost any pedal application. This functionality makes the RBR perfect tool for all brake tests.

Product overview

A testament to our commitment to developing cutting-edge solutions for heavy vehicle testing, the SR 150 was designed for testing power-failure situations in trucks and buses – a common homologation requirement – meaning that is has the highest torque of any of our robots. The SR 150 can also be used for a wide range of other handling tests.

Product overview

The SR 60 Torus offers the best of both worlds. Its hollow centre means that it can be installed without removing the airbag, while its direct drive motor makes it quieter and smoother than any geared robot.

Product overview

The SR 60 Orbit delivers the high torques necessary for limit testing and can be installed in vehicles without removing the steering wheel airbag. The gear ring can be separated into two halves, offering the option of ergonomic mounting behind the steering wheel. This prevents the obstruction of sensors and allowing full access to the steering controls. Alternatively, the SR 60 can be mounted in front of the rim to avoid interference with the dash or stalks. The SR 60 is suitable for a wide range of testing including legislative tests such as the fishhook and sine-dwell manoeuvres.

Product overview

Designed specifically for high-power tests such as those that employ fishhook and sine-dwell manoeuvres, the SR 60 is a best-seller, used worldwide by OEMs and test houses. With a maximum speed of 2500°/s, the SR 60 can apply steering inputs that exceed the capabilities of human drivers.

Product overview

The SR 35 uses a lighter, thinner version of the SR 60 motor to provide ample performance for typical driving scenarios and vehicle dynamics tests. It has the lowest combination of rotational inertia and motor bearing friction of our range, making it a popular choice for Lateral Support Systems (LSS) testing.

Product overview

Using the same lightweight motor as the SR 15 combined with the split-gear design of the SR 60 Orbit, the SR 15 Orbit can be installed behind the steering wheel rim providing excellent driver ergonomics preventing the obstruction of sensors and allowing full access to the steering controls. Alternatively, it can be mounted in front of the rim to avoid interference with the dash or stalks.
