Dynisma delivers DMG-X simulator to TU Graz for next-generation driving research

Dynisma has delivered its DMG-X driver-in-the-loop (DIL) driving simulator to Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), marking a major step forward for advanced automotive research and development in Europe. The system has been installed at TU Graz’s Inffeldgasse campus as the cornerstone of the university’s newly established Advanced Driving Simulation Centre.

Designed for full-scale vehicle development, the DMG-X combines motorsport-derived motion technology with exceptional realism. The simulator delivers bandwidth exceeding 100 Hz in all six degrees of freedom, ultra-low latency of just 3–4 ms, and vertical excursions of up to 400 mm, while supporting payloads of up to 750 kg. This capability enables realistic testing of complete vehicle prototypes, particularly for ride comfort and noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) assessment.

By enabling highly accurate driver-in-the-loop testing, the new centre allows TU Graz to bridge the gap between theoretical vehicle modelling and real-world human perception. The facility will support both academic research and commercial development projects with international automotive manufacturers, focusing on vehicle dynamics, NVH, human–machine interface (HMI), advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and autonomous driving.

“We are delighted to deliver the DMG-X to TU Graz for their Advanced Driving Simulation Centre,” said Graeme Cook, CEO of Dynisma. “This installation highlights the growing importance of high-fidelity simulation in automotive development. Early-stage DIL testing helps engineers make better-informed decisions, reducing development time, cost, and environmental impact while accelerating innovation.”

From TU Graz’s perspective, the simulator represents a step change in research capability. “The new simulator closes the gap between theoretical vehicle modelling and the real human perception of our test drivers,” said Arno Eichberger, Head of the Institute for Automotive Engineering at TU Graz, who is responsible for the scientific operation of the facility.

Integrated virtual-reality environments and extremely low system latency provide immersive, realistic driving scenarios with minimal risk of motion sickness, enabling precise evaluation of vehicle behaviour across a wide range of conditions.

With the Advanced Driving Simulation Centre now operational, TU Graz secures long-term access to world-class simulation technology—supporting cutting-edge research while offering industry partners a powerful platform for faster, more sustainable vehicle development.
