TEST BENCH DESIGN

DIE AUSLEGUNG VON ROLLPRUEFSTAENDEN

Test benches built for examining vehicle running behaviour have not fully met requirements in the past. It has become necessary to build a new generation of test benches for testing vehicle running behaviour under conditions closer to reality. The main differences between reality and tests result from adhesion, creep, vehicle dynamics and track vibration. The authors describe a project that takes these factors into consideration.
