Suited for investigating how the vehicle behaves on road surfaces of different friction coefficients and how the vehicle's behavior changes according to different tires and braking systems. Surfaces of three different μ values are made available with the help of an extensive sprinkling system. Equipped with rows of lights for testing at night.

Main test items

• Road-holding ability in relation to surface friction
• Braking performance test
• Hydroplaning test
