DriSMi – Driving Simulator Politecnico di Milano
Description
The driving simulator at DriSMi is the first application of a medium-sized driving simulator pulled by four cables on pneumatic runners in a European research center. This application allows to reduce the latency between the driver command and the execution of the movement by the simulator to just over 20 ms, a very low value considering the dynamics and the masses involved. This value is related to the feeling of delay that occurs in fast maneuvers, which on this simulator is reduced to a very low value. Also, by means of the projection of the scenario on a 270 ° wraparound screen, instead of using a dome, it is possible to keep the latency value very low and allow large movements of the driving simulator cockpit and guarantee the most realistic sensations as possible.
The application of the driving simulator pulled by four cables allow a complete decoupling of the lateral and longitudinal displacements and the yaw rotation.
The laboratory is implementing the instrumentation to monitor the driver while driving. The modeling of vehicles and scenarios is a well-known and widespread technique, but it remains much more complex to model the driver who is a human being and is based on many “internal sensors” and on his experience and judgment skills, which are very difficult to implement in a driver model. By instrumenting the driver we are able to obtain a lot of fundamental information for a correct modeling of the driver.
As a university research center, the know-how is available to implement assistance and control models, as well as vehicle models that take innovations into account. In the laboratory, there is the possibility to carry out hardware in the loop and software in the loop tests in customized environments according to the customer's needs. All the instrumentation is configurable as needed.

The dynamic driving simulator installed in the DriSMi laboratory is a new generation, medium-sized simulator with a structure comprising six electric actuators (hexalift) that can move the driver’s compartment in six ways (movements along the x, y and z axis, yaw rotation, pitch and roll) with a bandwidth of about 20Hz. The hexalift system is mounted on three pneumatic pads for moving the driver’s compartment on a plane without friction. The thickness of the air film is controlled by electromagnets. Movement of the driver’s compartment using the pneumatic pads takes place with three degrees of freedom. The longitudinal and lateral movement on a platform of 6x6 metres on the platform involves the pulling of four ropes, controlled by four independent electric motors that guarantee the decoupling of the lateral and longitudinal displacements and the yaw rotation. Movement in both directions and yaw rotation can be up to and over 60°, with a bandwidth of ~3Hz. This architecture with increased workspaces guarantees greater possible accelerations than similar simulators: up to 1.5g in the longitudinal and lateral direction, and up to 2.5g in the vertical direction. In addition to the 5 projectors and the 270° screen, a seat with active cushions and tension belts are also used to improve the driver's immersiveness during the test. An electric motor allows the driver to reverse the steering to obtain a realistic torque at the wheel and simulate active power steering control systems. There is also an active hydraulic brake system, which allows the driver to get the desired feeling on the brake pedal and to perceive the effects of active controls, such as ABS. Finally, a system of five speakers reproduce the sources of noise in and out of the vehicle while driving. For the purpose of studying comfort, there are 8 shakers on board with a bandwidth of up to 200Hz to reproduce the vibrations that come from the engine and road irregularities. There is an instrumented steering wheel able to measure the forces and moments exerted by the driver, an eye-tracking system for studying the driver's behaviour while driving, and a bio-telemetry system that measures the electrocardiogram and the skin potential resistance (SPR) during driving. Lastly, there is a cap for the electroencephalogram of the driver during manoeuvres.

Major Assets
The laboratory provides a complete infrastructure for fabricating the 2D materials. The Carbolite vacuum system enables chemical vapor deposition growth of chosen materials, such as MoS2, WS2, amorphous carbon, or graphene. The developed procedure of the mechanical exfoliation of a large area single-layers of materials from bulk crystals (high crystal quality above 10 000 µm2, up to ~1 mm2 for crystals with lower quality) is supported by the HQ Graphene transfer system and provides an additional degree of control necessary in van der Waals heterostructures preparation. The material quality and the interface roughness are carefully examined using Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy (Renishaw inVia Qontor, 514, 532, 785 nm laser excitation lines) and atomic force microscopy (Bruker Icon). The high-resolution electron-beam lithography (e-Line Plus Raith) enables the electronic devices fabrication with minimal width of ~50 nm (after lift-off). It is also used for scanning electron microscopy studies of samples’ surfaces (InLens and SE detectors, up to 30 kV), with the possibility of 3D imaging. The contacts are fabricated using a thermal evaporation system (Lesker Nano 36) with various metals available (e.g. Au, Cr, Pd, Ni, Al, Co, wafers up to 6”) and a thickness deviation of approximately 0.1 nm. The devices can be characterized electrically in a DC measurement setup with Keithley 2450 source-measuring unit, DL-1211 Current Preamplifier, and National Instruments DAQ 6366 for fast and high-resolution measurements. They can be realized under constant illumination of 533 nm and 365 nm diodes. The 4-point probe measurements are also available with a homemade Hall effect measurement station, consisting of Keithley 6220 Current Source, 2182A Nanovoltmeter, and 3706A System Switch. All electrical measurements can be performed in a vacuum cryostat MicrostatHe2 by Oxford Instruments with temperature control from 70 K up to 450 K. We provide high-quality wedge bonding to different electrical adapters. The staff is also experienced in advanced material characterization, such as the thermal conductivity of thin-film materials using statistical Raman spectroscopy, electronic measurements under the electron beam irradiation or chemical modification of the materials’ surface.

GVPM is a special closed-circuit wind tunnel, arranged in a vertical layout with two test rooms located on the opposite’s sides of the loop. The first one is located in the lower part of the loop and is suitable for Low Turbulence tests. The second one, bigger, is located in the upper part of the loop and is intended for civil engineering testing (the Boundary Layer Test Section). Due to this unique feature, GVPM offers the widest possible range of test arrangements and alternatives. The facility is powered by a flow generator array of 14 1.8m diameter, 100kW, fans, for a total power of 1.4 MW. The fans are organized in two rows of seven 2x2m independent cells. Independent inverters drive the fans allowing for continuous control of the rotation speed of each fan to obtain the desired wind speed in the test section. After the fans two corners fitted with vanes conducts the flow to the upper level of the facility in the opposite direction. The flow is than cooled by a heat exchanger that is placed just downstream of bend number 2 and, after a grid, enters the boundary layer test section. A second set of two corners fitted with vanes conducts the flow back to the lower level where, after 2 meters long settling chamber, it passes a honeycomb screen and a set of three different porosity wire nets to reduce axial and lateral turbulence and to promote a more uniform axial flow. A two-dimensional contraction cone with area ratio 3.46:1 reduces the duct section to fit the low turbulence test section size. Finally a short diffuser expands the duct section back to the fans array size. The optimization and check of the facility layout and components design has been achieved with the help of a 1:9 scale powered tunnel model that was modified several times up to the final design. This model is currently available and used as a check for modifications to the full scale tunnel and to design testing devices in a reduced scale before realizing them for the large tunnel. • 4m wide x 3,84m high x 6m long Low Turbulence Test Section, max wind speed 55m/s • 4m wide x 3,84m high x 5m long Open Jet Test Section, max wind speed 55m/s • 13,84m wide x 3,84m high x 35m long Boundary Layer Test Section, max wind speed 16m/s • Available instrumentation and devices.

LaST - Transport Safety Lab
Description
All equipment of the facility is invented and designed by the internal staff of La.S.T. according to the specific needs of the test the researcher or the client has to do. Some facilities are conceived for the intended purpose of the project or of the test and then incorporated into the laboratory. For this reason, La.S.T. has a very dynamic approach, being in continuous evolution and change.
Passive safety:
• No other universities in Italy have a crash test laboratory with the same variety of equipment
• The laboratory is one of the 7 test houses in the world approved by FIA - Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile for the certification of racing car seat
• The laboratory is member of SAE G-28 - Simulants for Impact and Ingestion Testing Committee, for the development of a surrogate bird for impact testing
• The laboratory is one of the 7 approved by the Federal Highway Administration for the certification of roadside safety hardware using FEM simulations and the only one located outside the USA;
• Work is performed by researchers and technicians coming from the aerospace sector, from which passive safety branch was historically born. This is an added value for crash tests facilities.
Active safety:
• Within LaST clients from the private sector, it is relevant to mention some worldwide leader in the testing, inspection and certification sector such as the Spanish Applus+ IDIADA and some international formula-1 companies. These big players turn to LaST for it high-specialized expertise.

Laboratory for the synthesis of polymers and chemical compounds on a semi-technical scale (@Faculty of Chemistry)
Description
The main apparatus with side devices and additional reactors are rather unparalleled at universities in Poland. The equipment allows to carry out the chemical reactions and control some of the process parameters in semi-technical scale. The glass and steel reactors enable to scale-up the processes previously optimized in lab scale. The apparatus are customizable and universal at wide range of process parameters so they can be used for various processes, characterized by low or high temperature and viscosity, normal or diminished pressure and different reaction media (solution, dispersions, bulk). In some cases the reactor may be coupled with twin screw extruder in order to continue polymerization at high pressure, mix the obtained polymer with additives and granulate the products.

The main lab equipment involves three cascade sets of two reactors: (a) 2L + 2L both in steel, (b) 5L (glass) + 2L (steel) and (c) 10L + 10L both in steel, with heated [(a) and (b) are flexible] transmission pipes. In sets (a) and (c) as well as streel reactor of (b) the temperatures up to 230 °C may be reached (electrical heating), whereas in 5L glass reactor the maximum temperature is 180 °C (oil heating). All the systems can work at ambient pressure (or slightly higher in case of steel apparatus) or at diminished pressure (membrane pump for glass reactor and oil pumps to steel ones). Additionally, the set (b) is equipped with fractional distillation system (three columns with controlled temperature (20-180 °C), however the all sets might be reconfigured or extended at some scope. The automatic regulation of temperature and mechanical stirrer rotation and measurement of pressure (at certain points) and stirrer torque by dedicated PC system is enabled for the sets (including backup). The extrusion pump has been attached at the outlet of the second reactor of the set (c), so the molten material can be directly formed into form of lines or transmitted via heated flexible pipe to twin screw corotating extruder. It enables to continue the reaction under high pressure (usually causes huge increase in reaction rate), mixing the polymer formed with additives and finally extrude lines, cool them down with air or water and granulate them. The granulate may be injection molded into standard testing specimens and tested for tensile, flexural or impact strength. These sets were initially established for the synthesis of some monomers (from renewable resources) and the biodegradable (co)polymers of various composition, topology and microstructure. If needed the bigger reaction vessels and other apparatus might be combined or used (owned by a neighboring labs).

Antenna Laboratory (Research Centre FOTEH of the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technologies)
Description
Antenna Laboratory, the best equipped in Poland, is dedicated to research in antenna techniques, Radio-over-Fiber techniques, and measurement technology in the sub-terahertz frequency range. A unique set of measuring instruments makes it possible to carry out various measurements, including:
• measurements of antenna characteristics - in the near and far zones, in the time and frequency domains, and determining the properties of steered and reconfigurable antennas in transient states;
• measurements of transmission parameters in radio-optical fiber links;
• determination of properties of systems switched in transient states;
• characterization of materials, including nonlinear dielectrics (ferroelectrics).
An important element of the laboratory is the anechoic chamber intended for measurements of characteristics of antennas in the frequency range up to 50 GHz. The chamber is equipped with the appropriate mechanical and control elements: a rotary table with an angular resolution of 0.06°, a precise scanner
XY with dimensions of 1×1 m and a resolution of 5 µm, and a suitable set of measuring antennas. The laboratory can also carry out measurements in a wide frequency range thanks to a unique set consisting of a four-channel Agilent Technologies PNA-X circuit analyzer and six pairs of range extender heads
frequencies up to 500 GHz. Each pair of heads is designed for one standard band rectangular waveguide and enables double measurement of the scattering matrix (amplitude and phase) with very high dynamics (over 100 dB). Wide bandwidth and a large number of measurement points (up to
32001) allows for additional processing of measurement data in the time domain. This set is used to measure antenna parameters and is part of a quasi-optical stand for the characterization of materials in the millimeter and subterahertz ranges.

LaborA – Digital and physical modelling
Description
The two main facilities, immersive theatre, and holographic table, are present in few units in Europe and also less in the country. The holographic table is present in 3 units in Europe of which only 2 are intended for research. However, it is not in the hardware itself that the potential is expressed as much as in the continuous applications that are related through software enhancements and tool integrations that are developed within the research group.
Labora is a 1-'research university infrastructures' that provide resources and services for the research communities of Politecnico itself and the private and public community interested in fostering their activity in their field. For this aim it is an open infrastructure for the campus than the external users.
In its natural mandate and precisely because of the hybridization between applied research and access for stakeholders to use instrumentation from the external users it develops research and innovation to business addressing emerging opportunities and market developments.
Its mission places the development of activities related to simulation in immersive environments of the 360° theatre with reading of perceptual reactions either by electroencephalogram recording or by eye-trackers or applied sensors within the first three years of the activity with involvement of external stakeholders for the application of the first methodologies.
Likewise, research in the holographic field arises the accurate 3D multi-user visualization of multiscale objects with the possibility of intervention with substitutions of parts, sections and movement, construction of heatmaps to facilitate design research to address emerging opportunities and market developments in a coherent manner.
Dissemination activities are planned both for internal users than for external ones.
Monthly visit with stakeholders and socials develops a continuous dissemination strategy for results.

SOLID-LIQUID INTERFACE NANOMICROSCOPY AND SPECTROSCOPY LAB (SOLINANO-Σ LAB)
Description
The SoLINano-Σ lab offer the possibility of studying the chemical/physical properties of the solid/liquid interface. The lab is equipped with 2 independent electrochemical scanning probe microscopies [electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM; electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC-AFM)]. Both the EC-STM and the EC-AFM can follow the electrode surface topography (at the atomic or molecular length scale) during electrochemical (redox) processes. In particular, the EC-AFM can be equipped with special tips that allow the collection of local faradaic currents (scanning electrochemical microscopy, SECM). In addition, our EC system can be coupled with optical systems to measure changes in the electrode reflectivity during adsorption or desorption of ions.
We highlight the unicity of our EC-AFM apparatus, which can be coupled with a Raman spectroscopy set-up in axial configuration. This geometry allows the immersion of both the AFM tip and the Raman objective inside an electrochemical cell. Both the morphological and chemical changes occurring at the electrode surface during redox reactions activated by a potentiostat can be simultaneously studied.
The combination of EC-AFM/Raman spectroscopy/cyclic-voltammetry techniques is not already available on the market: the experimental set-up available at the SoLINano-Σ-lab is in part self-assembled and built in collaboration with the NT-MDT company.

At the same time, with their high level of specialization, Research Infrastructures are called upon to transfer their results outside the academic field. Hence, interconnection and collaborations between Research Infrastructures and industrial sector are crucial to generate potential and effective opportunities for innovation. SOLINANO-Σ LAB underlined that this cooperation is not always easy because of the different purposes, culture, knowledge and languages of science and industry.
