  • Patent number: 6860145
    Abstract: A motorized chassis dynamometer machine. In one embodiment, the dynamometer machine includes a fixed frame assembly. At least one roller assembly is mounted on the fixed frame assembly. At least one independent motor assembly is connected to each roller assembly. The independent motor assembly is used for driving the roller assembly. At least one independent loading dynamometer assembly capable of measuring the vehicle input power at each roller assembly is coupled to each roller assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the dynamometer assembly is only operable for loading each independent roller assembly, while the motor assembly is operable for driving each independent roller assembly. The machine has at least one motor controller capable of controlling each independent motor assembly and at least one dynamometer controller capable of controlling each independent dynamometer assembly.
