At testing expo India OptimumG did a presentation on: “The What, How and Why of ISO Test Benchmarking Results”.
The presentation focused on a 3-day seminar, held in Argentina. OptimumG, in collaboration with Oreste Berta, EzMetrology, Texense, Michigan Scientific and Motec, instrumented a vehicle, performed ISO tests and processed the data. The objective of the seminar was to demonstrate to the audience why do we need ISO testing, how to perform an ISO test and how to process the data to extract relevant vehicle metrics.
