Torque Wheel Dynamometer TWDM
The ViL platform is based on an innovative and patented concept for a Torque-Wheel DynamoMeter (TWDM) consisting of four wheels with integrated torque motor in combination with an electromechanical turntable. The wheel hub of the TWDM can be rotated relative to the rim when the wheel is in a standing position.
In contrast to existing test benches or roller dynamometers, no structural measures are necessary for the TWDM. By using optional electromechanical turntable plates, different steering angles can be set, which also allows speed-dependent steering counter forces to be taken into account. Accordingly, the steering of the vehicle remains in its original state with the TWDM and does not need to be manipulated, which is a huge advantage compared to the state-of-the-art test stand technology. Even incline, decline, tyre slip on ice or snow, can be replicated by using the TWDM in combination with a powerful real-time road drive environment simulation. The resulting ViL platform is therefore particularly well suited for the evaluation of automated driving functions. Optionally in combination with ADAS hard- and software.
Advantages
- Easy installation, no consturctural measures necessary
- Free accessibility for stimulation of ADAS sensors such as radar, lidar and cameras, GPS, G5 ... communication systems
- Simulation of cornering, lane change, automatic parking/unparking, distance warning. Emergency braking behavior, etc.
- Can also be used optionally for EMC testing
- Sensors for speed measurement and torque measurement are included
Applications
- Steer- and Drive Simulation Testing
- R2R testing
- ADAS testing
- EMC testing
- E-Mobility testing
