DRIVERLESS CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER TESTING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES

摘要

Key test and development parameters for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid vehicle (HEV) applications require real life driving conditions to be simulated for a few hours. A conventional chassis dynamometer can be used to simulate all the driving conditions for a specified driving pattern. However, it is impossible for a human driver to apply the specified driving pattern for a few hours accurately. To overcome this difficulty, Tata Motors team developed a driverless chassis dynamometer test set-up which can emulate specified driving patterns to an EV/HEV powertrain for the desired amount of time.
