AB Dynamics plc

AB Dynamics plc, through its subsidiaries, engages in the design, development, manufacture, and supply of vehicle test and development systems. It offers verification products and services for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous vehicle technology, and vehicle dynamics in the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States of America, China, Japan, Singapore, and internationally. 

The company offers advanced vehicle testing solutions from physical proving ground automation to large-scale virtual testing in simulation. rFpro is a simulation environment for the automotive and motorsport industries.

AB Dynamics also offers full-scale track testing services, including ADAS and vehicle dynamics tests, along with applied research, human factors, and simulation. It provides automotive testing services comprising evaluations of ADAS systems, infotainment, connectivity, electric vehicle performance and charging, and other associated functions.

Its retrofit solutions enable the automation of conventional vehicle fleets rapidly and cost-effectively. In addition, the company creates and deploys a range of Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulators for all types of vehicles, driving scenarios, experiments, and product development aims.

It supplies end-to-end simulation solutions, such as hardware, software, application consultancy, training, and aftermarket support. AB Dynamics also offers advanced vehicle testing solutions from physical proving ground automation to virtual testing in simulation. Its products are used to evaluate vehicle dynamics, noise, vibration, harshness, and autonomy for a range of applications comprising conventional vehicles, motorsport, and automated/autonomous vehicles. 

The company was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in Bradford-on-Avon, the United Kingdom.

AB Dynamics plc was founded in 1982 by Dr. Tony Best as a small family business. Over the next thirty years, the company grew steadily and established itself as a leading supplier of automotive testing systems and components. With a focus on advanced applications such as durability testing, active safety and autonomous driving, AB Dynamics has been able to provide efficient. The company is now servicing the top 25 global vehicle manufacturers, all seven Euro NCAP laboratories and numerous government test authorities.  

In 2015, the company was listed on the London Stock Exchange, becoming a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. 

It has since continued to innovate, investing in the development of new technologies and products

AB Dynamic's mission is to provide our customers with innovative and reliable solutions for automotive testing, helping them to improve the performance and safety of their products.

With its comprehensive range of products and services, AB Dynamics plc enables its customers to conduct complex, multi-object test scenarios with a simple-to-use software interface to satisfy internal or external regulatory test requirements.

Its advanced laboratory testing methods are used to evaluate vehicle dynamics, noise, vibration, harshness, and ADAS across a wide range of applications including conventional vehicles, motorsport, and automated vehicles.

AB Dynamics plc envisions being the world’s leading supplier of automotive testing solutions, utilising advanced technology to develop innovative products and services that redefine the standard for quality and performance.

Its simulator products along with the market-leading physics-based simulation software reduce new vehicle development timescales by allowing meaningful testing earlier in the development process. The use of simulation also reduces new vehicle development timescales by allowing meaningful evaluation earlier in the development process.

AB Dynamics supply advanced vehicle testing solutions from physical proving ground automation to large scale virtual testing in simulation.

The company's unique technology is being used by all major vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers globally for vehicle dynamics, ADAS development, driverless car technology evaluation, suspension, chassis and steering system development, and NVH testing.

Products include Driving Robots, ADAS targets, drive-by-wire systems, Kinematics & Compliance test machines, driving simulators, path following and synchronisation software along with a full proving ground management solution.

rFpro is a simulation environment for the automotive and motorsport industries.

It is used for the development and testing of autonomous vehicles, ADAS, vehicle dynamics, and human factor studies - essentially anything that involves driving a vehicle.

rFpro’s automotive customers are the world’s largest car manufacturers, tier-one suppliers, and sensor developers. We enable them to simulate, test, and validate new sensors, control systems, and vehicle hardware systems. 

It is the market leader in professional driver-in-the-loop simulator software in motorsport. It maintains the largest library of digital road models (digital twins) including test tracks and race circuits for F1, NASCAR, WEC, IMSA, Indy, Formula E, Super-GT, and Australian V8 Supercars. 

DRI has expertise in performing full-scale track testing including ADAS and vehicle dynamics tests, along with applied research, human factors, and simulation.

The company also designs and manufactures a range of products for use in track-based ADAS testing including the Soft Car 360® which is carried by AB Dynamics' self-propelled platform GST.

Soft Car 360 is the Global Vehicle Target (GVT) adopted by Euro NCAP and NHTSA for harmonised ADAS testing; AB Dynamics has been a licensed supplier since 2013.

Ansible Motion creates and deploys a wide range of Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulators around the world for all types of vehicles, driving scenarios, experiments, and product development aims.

From small desktop systems to full-size dynamic simulators, Ansible Motion's products deliver class-leading virtual test-driving experiences. Featuring advanced computational and mechanical performance capabilities, they create compelling virtual worlds for drivers and product development engineers.
