The use of vehicle manoeuvre test data for forming and approval of physical model

Abstract

The contribution describes the already performed dynamic driving tests of a high-load road vehicle and an articulated vehicle composed of a towing vehicle and a semitrailer. The driving tests consisted of standard and extreme manoeuvres what means the acceleration, the braking at variable intensity and an evasive manoeuvre. The tests were conducted at different load of the semitrailer as well as with a single towing vehicle. The three-axis accelerometer was located on the car frame and in the cockpit. The contribution as well includes the assessment of the measured data and the description of its use during the creation of a physical model of the vehicle simulator movement. An intention to simulate the movement in such a way the impacts on the driver are as real as possible in comparison to real vehicles exists, thus the vehicle can be replaced by a simulator.
