The development of new vehicles is subject to ever-increasing demands as regards environmental impact and safety. To satisfy these demands, intensive research and engineering and technological development are being carried on in these areas.
In our research we focus on the vehicle dynamics of track-bound and road vehicles, tyre characteristics, and evaluations of driver assistance systems and active safety systems. Research concerning energy-efficient vehicles and model-based development of built-in vehicle systems are other important areas.In many cases it is a matter of being able to understand complex connections. In order to be able to do so, simulation is being used to an increasing extent both in industry and the research community. At VTI we develop our own world-class driving simulators and have extensive experience relating to evaluation of vehicle systems. As regards driving experience there are few simulators that can match VTI's. We also have advanced facilities for measuring road and tyre friction.

Since 2013, the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) has had several government commissions to produce documentation on the costs to society caused by traffic. On 1 November 2018, the agency reported its latest commission, Samkost 3....
VTI participates in several international standardisation committees. The work is important because it helps to ensure that standards can be adapted to Swedish conditions and it also provides access to valuable contacts and networks.
Through the CTS cooperation, VTI is gaining valuable research contacts with China. The country is facing major challenges in the field of road safety but also has enormous potential.
Systems with electrified roads are a relatively new concept and many projects have been launched in recent years. To stimulate the transfer of knowledge and collaboration, the Research and Innovation Platform for Electric Roads arranged its second...
ADAS&ME is a major EU project focused on automation, the human condition and the human environment. The budget is EUR 9.6 million and VTI is the coordinator.
Apart from advanced driving simulators, VTI has developed several variations of train simulators which are used for training, education and research. In recent years, interest has increased drastically among major actors in the railway sector, and VTI has...
