Optimization of semi-trailer design as a result of using the MTS road simulator

Abstract

The systematized approach in the process of developing a new technical product should constitute a standard for ensuring high quality, functionality and durability of modern products. This paper presents a methodology used by Wielton company – a manufacturer of trailers and semi-trailers – for the optimization of semi-trailer’s construction, supported by a modern test stand – a road simulator included as part of the methodology. As a result of the optimization of the construction with the use of the road simulator, the semi-trailer as a new product for sale is delivered quickly and it is free from any construction defects.
