Due to a number of advantages over traditional development methods, the importance of dynamic driving simulators in automotive research and development has grown continuously in recent years. Motion simulation via motion cueing algorithms contributes significantly to the driving experience and provides…
The strong progress in modern vehicle system technology requires new methodological approaches for the development and validation of new vehicle systems. In particular, due to increasing automation, classical development methods and testing scenarios need to be evolved. Consequently, the publication…
This paper describes real-world driving tests with a battery-electric sport utility vehicle equipped with innovative chassis actuators such as high-torque in-wheel machines and a hybrid brake-by-wire (BBW) system tailored specifically for electric vehicles. In addition, the vehicle incorporates a new…
The presented study addresses the methodology for building distributed test platforms that support the design of electric vehicle (EV) systems and the validation of their functionality. The platforms are implemented in the form of an X-in-the-loop (XIL) architecture and may include multiple test setups…
As a result of rising environmental awareness, vehicle-related emissions such as particulate matter are subject to increasing criticism. The air pollution in urban areas is especially linked to health risks. The connection between vehicle-related particle emissions and ambient air quality is highly complex.…
Recent trends in automotive engineering, such as electrification and automatization, are opening chances as well as challenges due to the increased demand on new chassis components (e.g., drivetrain, brakes, steering, suspension, etc.) and control methods. This fast-growing market requires new methods…
Battery electric vehicles (BEV) share the ability of regenerative braking since they are equipped with two independent types of deceleration devices, namely the electric motor working as a generator and the friction brakes. Correct interaction of these systems in terms of driving safety and energy efficiency…
