TEST AND TRAINING TRACK (DRIVER TRAINING CENTRE)
KICK PLATE
A state-of-the-art device designed to put vehicles into oversteer slide. The device can be fully calibrated even while in training, which makes it possible to adapt the parameter configuration (force, retard, plate movment) to the type of vehicle and skill level of the trainees. The heating unit for the hydraulic system allows it to be used even in winter at very low air temperatures.
WATER OBSTACLES
A unique system with as many as NINE pop-up water obstacles, where the opening time is just 0.1 seconds, and the height is over 2 meters. The high efficiency of the water hydraulic system allows to use any number of water obstacles at the same time.
TRAINING TRACK (ROAD-LAB)
Appropriately designed road layout with bends of different characteristics (different types of bends – gentle, sharp). Different direction and “camber” to replicate road conditions as closely as possible. The training track is equipped with road lines and road signs. This allows driver assistance systems to be tested in safe and sterile conditions almost identical to those on public roads. Another feature of the training track is the so-called skid hill – the trainees drive over a hill with a 10% slope and are surprised with an irrigated skid plate.
SKID PLATES
DRIVELAND is equipped with four skid plates:
– rectangular skid plate with dimension 20 x 100 m
– rectangular skid plate with dimensions of 7 x 70 m
– skid circle with a diameter of 54 m
– skid plate with 10% slope on the hill descent
White skid plates provide the opportunity to replicate the phenomenon of ‘spatial disorientation’, which poses a significant challenge for some drivers. This effect happens when the road is covered with snow or when light is reflected on a water-covered road.
OFF-ROAD TEST TRACK
An integral part of the DRIVELAND centre is the off-road test track. It consists of an off-road track with variable surface (concrete, gravel, sand, wooden logs), traverses, articulation testing points, uphill, downhill. It is possible to vary the route according to the needs. This makes it possible to demonstrate the capabilities of modern cars (crossovers, SUVs and VANs designed for more difficult terrain). On the track we demonstrate the operation of active assistance systems and the principles of correct car use to avoid drive system failures.
SAFETY HOUSE
- a rollover crash simulator based on the iconic Syrena 105 car equipped with modern seats and seat belts;
- frontal collision simulator.
