Simulation & training solutions

The Institute for Driver Assistance and Connected Mobility (IFM) is an institution of the University of Applied Sciences Kempten (Germany). It is a method manufacturer, whose objective is to create the methods and tools for car manufacturers and their supplier to limit the number of prototypes. They focus on three main domains: ‘vehicle dynamics and controls with steering, tire and suspension application’, ‘controllability in failure cases’, and ‘ADAS/AD (Advanced Driving Assistance System / Automatic Driving)’.

Developing a new vehicle is a huge investment for companies. A large team of people work years to get every detail right, making sure the car drives smoothly, is highly comfortable and 100% safe. Improving the design time can account for significant savings in development cost, and accelerated time-to-market. That is why vehicle simulators have gained a lot of importance in recent years. VI-grade is a company that focuses on developing a range of driving simulators with a goal of “zero prototypes” in automotive design and development.

Three Barco FL40-4K projectors form the visualization backbone for ONERA's simulator, which studies human-system interactions.

The CAE Training Center Korea is located in Seoul, near Gimpo International Airport. There, pilots are trained to fly The Boeing 737-800, Airbus 320-200, Airbus 330-200 and Cessna Citation M2. Practicing in flight simulators is an important part of their training. When CAE Korea wanted to upgrade the projectors in their flight simulators, they contacted Barco for a solution directly thanks to Barco’s reputation for reliability. Barco supplied FL35 projectors and after a trial, CAE purchased seven projectors to fully upgrade two of their flight simulators.

Known for the ultimate in realism, simulators crafted by TRU Simulation + Training have educated pilots around the globe in safe flying under almost any condition possible. To support pilot training on the Bell 429 helicopter model at Bell Helicopter’s new training facility in Valencia, TRU upped its game with its ODYSSEY™ H Bell Helicopter 429 platform – featuring 11 Barco F35 WQXGA projectors.

To offer marine professionals the world’s most realistic training simulation experience, Norway’s Rørvik Safety Center invested 19.7 million NOK in an upgrade to its worldclass Transas simulator. With the help of systems integrator project:syntropy, nine Barco F22 WUXGA projectors and a spherical screen, it achieved this milestone!
