Real-Time Simulation of Drive Chaines for Use in Dynamical Engine Test Stands

Abstract

In this paper, a dynamical engine test stand is presented which may be used as an advanced tool for combustion engine optimization and control. To simulate the dynamics of load changes occuring in a driving vehicle, a model of the car body including drive line, differential and wheels and a driver simulation have been developed and implemented on the test stand. Simulation results are presented and discussed.
