The techniques in the application of road test simulators in light vehicle development and durability evaluation are presented in this paper. The steps of the road test simulation process are outlined and described. Optimization of the process for verification of vehicle structure with road test simulation is also presented.

A technique to measure steering motion and loads for different steering gear systems is introduced. Data analysis and preparation for road test simulation are presented. Full vehicle simulation with different types of steering restraints on a 6DOF (six degrees of freedom) road test simulator is studied.
