A METHODOLOGY FOR MEASUREMENT OF VEHICLE PARAMETERS USED IN DYNAMIC STUDIES

摘要

An experimental system has been developed to facili¬tate the measurement of vehicle parameters required in dy¬namic studies of the automobile.nThis report describes the measuring facilities com¬prising, basically, a configuration of air bearings. System requirements are outlined based on the methodology adopted for studies involving the vehicle-occupant-terrain-obstacle system. Several procedures and techniques used to measure vehicle sus¬pension and inertial characteristics are also outlined. System performance is illustrated by typical measurements made on a vehicle used in a program of studies directed towards the de¬velopment of a validated model of the highway cable barrier for parametric studies of vehicle redirection using digital simula¬tion.
