HYBRID LABORATORY TEST METHOD FOR ANTI-LOCK SYSTEMS

Testing of anti-lock systems on a test track implies for economical and safety-related reasons a strong limitation of the number of tests that can be performed. The difficulty of obtaining desired and consistent test conditions is also considerable. A pure computer simulation requires a correct mathematical description of the anti-lock system, which can be difficult to obtain and very time consuming and expensive to program. It is also a considerable drawback that no hardware is actually tested in the simulation. The problems of the two methods mentioned above can be largely eliminated with a hybrid method where the most important components from anti-lock system testing point of view are actually used in the test by integrating them in a computer-simulated test. Such a method which has been tested with good results is presented in this paper. Hybrid simulation of this type has been used before in anti-lock research. New in this context is to our knowledge the evaluation of steerability and stability in addition to braking efficiency and the use of pure digital simulation.
