In our vision Testing includes Experimental Test Setup, Physics Measurement and Data Analysis, aimed at understanding and studying the physics behind a particular phenomenon. Testing plays a key role in problem identification and solving and it is crucial in the most recent design process. Computer-aided engineering, simulation and virtual prototyping are useful tools for cost reduction and time to market but they also require real data acquired on the field for correlation and updating. The Testing division is the right partner for the experimental testing execution, metrological and test procedure definition.
Noise, Vibration and Hearshness is a discipline which studies the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles. While noise and vibration can be readily measured, harshness is a subjective quality, and is quantified either via "jury" evaluations, or with analytical tools, so-called psychoacoustics, that can provide results reflecting human subjective impressions.
