Engineering Research Division (ERD)

The Engineering Research Division (ERD) is an established world leader in research of the dynamics and control of vehicles and the driving process. The group's tradition is to balance theory and experiment, with a continuous concern for the true complexity of the application-seeking results that may usefully inform engineering practice and policymaking that affect the motor vehicle.

ERD staff apply proficiencies and expertise in laboratory, field, and modeling areas to understand vehicle dynamic response and controllability as it impacts vehicle utility and traffic safety.
