Vehicle Digital Twin

The University excels in digital engineering research - focusing on vehicles, their subsystems and environment.

Our Vehicle Digital Twin theme tackles challenges in modelling, simulation and control of vehicle systems.

It covers both physical and data-based modelling of a wide range of systems and their behaviour - including vehicle dynamics, noise, vibration and harshness, aerodynamics, structures, tyres, tribology, powertrains and control systems.

Examples of our activity

ViVID

The £39 million ViVID project is developing digital engineering tools that work with physical prototypes to bring new electrified vehicles to market more quickly.
