    Field measurements and measurement technology development

    aim test bed is to develop, build and service measuring equipment and perform measurements in the transport area.

    Laboratory environment and real environment.

    Heavy Vehicle Simulator

    The aim of the test bed is to test the response and degradation of full-scale road structures either in the field or in test halls.

    Human Factors-labb

    Human Factors-labb is an experimental simulation environment that consists of a motion platform and simulation software. The movement platform is suspended on six electric pistons and is driven by a physics motor connected to the platform. Different models can be built on the platform, such as operator environments for different vehicles with realistic instrument panels and control equipment to resemble, for example, a helicopter and aircraft cockpit or driver's seats in various vehicles.
