2 Minimum Preparation Time and Reliable Repeatability New Paradigm for Road Load Simulation Testing is here MINIMUM INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS Compared with conventional roller-type chassis dynamometer (CDM) (see figure 1), the ROTOTEST Energy system does not require a large facility such as an underground pit. With a level floor plan (e.g. garage) (see figure 2) and power (@400V, 3 phase) being the main requirements, a full battery of tests can be carried out. The dramatically lowers cost and provides flexibility. Note: Additional equipment may be needed to support the ROTOTEST test environment. This includes (but not limited to) cooling and exhaust infrastructure.

However with ROTOTEST, you can be ready for testing (see figure 3) in the same amount of time required to install four common tires. Please note the set up time based on information from OEM s and Engineering Consultants.

3 Measurement System n speed M - torque Real-time Distribution Controller n speed M - torque ROTOTEST Hub-Coupled Chassis Dynamometer MODULE FOR VARIOUS TEST REQUIREMENTS By utilizing a state of the art 4Q control system and the ROTOTEST Active Inertia technology, the vehicle s inertia can be stimulated electronically to replicate true road conditions. In addition to being able to simulate different types of driving patterns, each tire can be modeled using a magic formula (see figure 4). Tire Model Vehicle Data Constant torque, constant speed n speed M - torque Sweep Road load simulation Figure 4: Real-time Torque Distribution ib ti Individual torque control, etc. EXPANDABLE TEST MODULE STEERING OPERATION CAPABILITY Due to its unique structure, ROTOTEST Energy provides a bench test with steering operations. This is something not typically achievable with conventional CDM. The steering angle can be rotated to +/- 20 degrees (see figure 5). You can simulate driving situations including steering operation, evaluate for ADAS, autonomous car, etc. ROTOTEST Energy will take you to new levels on the bench test. STEERING OPERATION CRITICAL MEASUREMENTS Figure 5: Steering Controls MEASUREMENT SYSTEM WITH HIGH ACCURACY AND REPEATABILITY When it comes to CDM, measuring torque directly in the hub position brings many advantages including high accuracy and constant repeatability. With no interference (see figure 6) from the automobile s tires, this system achieves high repeatability, which is important for performing benchmark testing. In addition, this unit can be automatically tilted in order to adjust the torque measurement line. Also see figures 7 and 8.

4 ROTOTEST Standard Model 500 KW KW MODEL FOR ROAD LOAD SIMULATION ROTOTEST Energy WD consists of each 500 kw, 250 kw dynamometer axle. It can be used for 4WD and 2WD depending on the vehicle under test. See figure 9 which shows a ROTOTEST unit mounted on an automobile. Because of its repeatability, accurate results can be obtained from the benchmark test. Several power models are available depending on your specified requirements. APPLICATION EXAMPLE: INDIVIDUAL WHEEL TORQUE CONTROL You can control each wheel s torque individually with the dynamometers connected directly to each wheel. The left graph below (see figure 10) shows the torque distribution when all tires except the front left one drives on a snow covered road. The right graph below (see figure 11) represents the situation when turning the steering wheel. Figure 9: ROTOTEST Unit Mounted on Front Driver Side Figure 10: Torque Distribution in Snow Covered Road Scenario Figure 11: Torque Distribution during Steering By defining a vehicle s mass and of each tire, the running resistance can be simulated (see figure 12). For example, the condition where some specific tires are on different road conditions can be simulated. Figure 12: Running Resistance Simulation 4

5 ROTOTEST Climate Model ROTOTEST Hub-Coupled Chassis Dynamometer BUILT-IN CLIMATE PROTECTION (CP) MODEL (-31 TO 105 F; -35 TO 40 C) This model has an expanded operational temperature range of -31 to 105 Fahrenheit (-35 to 40 Celsius). Given sufficient space, this system can be used in an already existing climate chamber. You may evaluate a vehicle s behavior in a cold region including steering operation (see figure 13). APPLICATION EXAMPLE: ENERGY FLOW MANAGEMENT EVALUATION This graph on the right (see figure 12) shows power consumption for an air conditioner. Running a gasoline engine at 1,500 rpm, A/C power consumption + generator loss can be measured as a power difference. Due to accurate torque measurements with the hub mounted ROTOTEST Energy, energy flows can be characterized accurately. Figure 13: Power Consumption with Air Conditioner On 5

6 ROTOTEST NVH Model LOW NOISE MODEL FOR NOISE, VIBRATION, AND HARSHNESS (NVH) TEST Even very low noise levels can negatively impact NVH measurements. Compared with traditional roller type dynamometers, there is next to no tire noise generated by the ROTOTEST units. ROTOTEST Energy NVH can be customized by removing blowers for cooling and covered with sound insulation boxes. The model can also be installed in semi-anechoic chambers. APPLICATION EXAMPLE: NVH TEST Operational noise driving at 100 km/h is only about 45 dba. Therefore you can evaluate NVH phenomena which are usually buried in noise coming from tires. In addition, there is no need to bind the vehicle. So it is possible to minimize changes to the NVH character due to binding. Refer to figure 14. Examples include: Evaluating noise from EPS Precise noise measurement (intake / exhaust, powertrain, etc.) A Weighting Level (dba) Overall Noise Tire Noise IC Noise Contribution analysis in indoor ROTOTEST is less than 45 dba km/h Vehicle Speed (km/h) Figure 14: Relationship between Noise and Speed 6
