BeamNG is a precise, powerful tool that can be used to support driver’s training applications. From top to bottom, BeamNG is designed to simulate true-to-life scenarios that any driver may encounter. Whether it’s an obstacle from the realistic environment, or a detailed, accurate collision via the soft-body physics engine, it all works in tandem to effectively prepare trainees for the road.

Environments & Level Customization

It’s crucial to provide an authentic challenge when training drivers. That’s why BeamNG’s urban environments replicate real-world cities from Europe and America, allowing trainees to safely explore genuine obstacles and develop their skills. It’s this level of Intricacy and detail that makes the program so effective.

Trainees don’t need to feel limited to just the standard environments provided. Level and scenario customization tools can be taken advantage of in order to cater to the trainee. This flexibility means future drivers can work on their areas of weakness, or test themselves against sophisticated AI traffic scenarios.

Soft-body Physics

The BeamNG physics engine is using a bottom-up approach representing complex interactions in real time. It allows simulation of unique situations not covered in other real time simulators which provides more accurate driving dynamics (weight distribution, force propagation, friction, etc.) and more accurate damage model, allows simulating of faulty/broken parts

We have covered more information on the fundamentals of the BeamNG’s physics here

Drivetrain System

BeamNG keeps options open as far as the drivetrain system is concerned. Trainees can feel comfortable knowing their specific needs are met, whether that means driving manual, automatic, rear wheel drive, front wheel drive, and more.

Setup

In order to provide the most immersive training environment possible, BeamNG offers triple monitor support. This makes a devoted simulation setup much more feasible. Additionally, motion platform support is provided to heighten the realistic scenarios.

Force Feedback

Force feedback is a critical feature for drivers to control simulated vehicles. It transmits a haptic response to human drivers that helps them to control their vehicle and contributes to an authentic driving experience. Active and  effective feedback system can help the trainees with decision making while driving.

Not only visual factors are important but also other sensory modalities, such as force feedback through a steering wheel or torque, provides valuable information for the trainees. Although BeamNG.tech do not supply hardware but it is capable of transmitting authentic driving experience with our force feedback support system.

Data Collection & Analysis

Informed feedback is vital to the learning process. BeamNG comes equipped with a host of data extraction capabilities that are easy to access. This makes performance assessment much more immediate and clear.
