Vehicle Simulation and Modeling

The contract seeks to develop and execute advanced simulation models focused on vehicle systems and driver behavior to support scenario-based testing and virtual validation efforts. The work involves creating high-fidelity computational models that emulate real-world driving conditions, vehicle dynamics, and human responses under diverse and complex scenarios to evaluate safety, performance, and regulatory compliance without physical prototypes. The project is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, assigned the NAICS code 541620 for other scientific and technical consulting services, indicating a focus on specialized engineering and analytical expertise. The opportunity was posted on April 23, 2026, with a firm deadline for responses set for June 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM, providing potential participants a two-month window to submit proposals. While the place of performance and point of contact details are not specified, the work is expected to be conducted remotely or in alignment with the agency's virtual validation infrastructure, emphasizing digital modeling capabilities over physical testing environments.
