MPMD Users Manual: Mobile Parametric Measurement Device (MPMD)

摘要

The MPMD was originally designed and built to measure 56 parameters necessary for use of existing vehicle simulation computer models. The objective of the project was to analyze the Mobile Parametric Measurement Device (MPMD) and correct any deficiencies found. The analysis uncovered such a large number of deficiencies that the scope of the project was narrowed to only trying to correct the center of gravity and mass moment of inertia measurement procedures. The device was modified, calibrated and validated in accordance with this limited scope. The resulting device is much better in most areas of measurement, however, several future improvements are suggested.
