Michelin Proving Grounds: Engineering Services
Passby Noise: Michelin Proving Grounds offers a purpose-built passby noise facility with low background noise. The site includes test surfaces compliant with both ISO 10844:2021 and ISO 10844:2014 standards. Engineering-supported test equipment is available for a wide range of exterior noise evaluations, including FMVSS 141, ECE R51.03, SAE J1169, and SAE J1470. A fully equipped trackside garage—featuring an in-ground lift, conference room, toolbox, and Level 2 EV charger—makes this a convenient, all-in-one location for external noise testing.
Coastdown: Track 9 is a dedicated facility for SAE J2263 coastdown testing using the speed split method. A nearby garage provides everything needed for efficient testing, including a vehicle lift, conference room, work area, basic toolbox, and both Level 2 and Level 3 EV chargers. Engineering support is available to assist with all aspects of customer testing.
Interior Noise: In-vehicle instrumentation is available to capture interior noise data across a variety of surfaces, including smooth asphalt, weathered concrete, chip-seal, and more.
Data Acquisition: Comprehensive data acquisition services are offered, including high-precision GPS (accuracy down to 2 cm), acceleration, steering wheel angle and torque, slip angle, temperature, wheel speed, and custom sensor configurations.
