VICKSBURG, Miss. – The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) completed assembly on the world’s largest heavy vehicle simulator (HVS), the “Titan,” at the end of January. The HVS is a critical research tool used to evaluate new materials, design methods, and construction techniques that can help optimize new infrastructure facilities.
“We are excited to receive the HVS Titan from our industry partner, Dynatest,” said Jeb Tingle, Senior Scientific Technical Manager from ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory. “This new accelerated pavement testing capability will keep ERDC at the forefront of transportation infrastructure research for the foreseeable future and equip the ERDC with the required tools to provide effective sustainable infrastructure to the Army, the Department of Defense, and the Nation.”
