At the TEC we have developed the facilities, equipment, and experience for conducting and analyzing a wide variety of vehicle handling tests, including rollover resistance tests. The testing is conducted on site, utilizing our ten-acre skidpad and 2-mile oval test track. Immediate feedback of recorded test data is provided by our handling test data acquisition system (HDAQ). The Automated Steering Controller can be installed if precise and repeatable steering inputs are required.

We have experience with a wide array of measurement sensors, including mechanical and solid-state gyroscopes, mechanical and optical velocity sensors, steering angle and torque sensors, proximity sensors, and precision accelerometers. A recent addition to our measurement capabilities is a high-speed vehicle-mounted GPS for precise tracking of vehicle path. Light-weight outriggers and other safety equipment are available for the protection of the test drivers.
