Lars Drugge conducts research in vehicle dynamics development for future road vehicles, focusing on smart, safe, and environmentally friendly transportation solutions for a sustainable society. His work emphasizes technological advancements such as electrification, automation, and active vehicle systems. Drugge's research includes innovative vehicle concepts with individually controlled steering, propulsion, suspension, and braking systems, aimed at improving energy efficiency, comfort, performance, and stability. He studies how vehicles perceive and interact with their surroundings, particularly in terms of steering feel and the effects of vehicle motions on driver behavior. His work also involves the use of advanced driving simulators to create realistic driving experiences and enhance the comfort of autonomous vehicles. This includes investigating the role of the vestibular system in motion perception and developing improved motion algorithms that reduce motion sickness in autonomous vehicles. Additionally, Drugge's research seeks to develop optimized vehicle characteristics to minimize sensitivity to crosswinds, lower energy consumption, and reduce tire wear. He collaborates with other researchers and employs interdisciplinary methods combining advanced simulations and experiments to deepen understanding in these areas.
