  • Patent number: 4986114
    Abstract: The invention deals with a traveling or driving simulator and especially a rake test stand for vehicles with antiskid brake systems, with drive rollers assigned to the vehicle wheels to be tested and slippage members, with adjustable slippage characteristic for brake torque dependent change of the drive torque between the drive rollers and the vehicle wheels, being assigned to the drive rollers. The drive rollers are coupled with each other by their drive shafts and driven by the flywheel masses of the rotating parts. In operation, the drive rollers can be accelerated up to the testing speed by the vehicle present upon the brake test stand. The slippage members are designed as electric or hydraulic machines controllable independently of each other. Thus, a slippage characteristic for different roadway conditions can be realized for each vehicle individually in a simple and optimized manner.
