Ride Comfort and Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in passenger cars
Research Project, 2019
– 2024
Ride Comfort and NVH are becoming increasingly important market dependent attributes in the development of new vehicles and platforms. Major change to vehicle usage in the future through electrification is one example, but also when vehicles are running in Autonomous Driving mode. This will change how the driver and passengers perceive the Ride Comfort and NVH. In this Industrial PhD project CEVT/ZEEKR Europe wants to cover the two specific technical areas, Ride Comfort and NVH, as they are strongly related. The focus in the project is on improving the understanding of how future demands will change the requirements and perception of Ride in combination with the new NVH levels and techniques that need to be developed due to new driving habits and behaviours. The objective is to deepen the knowledge about the opportunities of large-scale simulation models to influence the early design phase as well as making a technology roadmap to further explore opportunities. Methodologies to increase knowhow in the area of Ride Comfort and NVH will be developed.
