Abstract: A test system includes an actual machine including a test piece that is a mechanical element of a vehicle, the actual machine being installed in a first location; a control device that is installed in the first location, and controls the actual machine; a model installed in a second location away from the first location; and a data processor that is installed in the second location, and is connected to the actual machine or the control device via a communication line so that data communication is performed, the data processor acquiring data from the actual machine via the communication line so that an operation test is performed. The data processor calculates a target value for controlling the actual machine based on an output acquired by inputting the acquired data to the model, and the control device controls the actual machine based on the target value.

Abstract: A vehicle test apparatus includes: a test article installation vehicle body to which four axles corresponding to four wheels that are a left front wheel, a right front wheel, a left rear wheel and a right rear wheel are attached, and on which a test article is installed; a first motion base that supports the test article installation vehicle body, and that allows the test article installation vehicle body to make motions of six degrees of freedom; and four second motion bases each of which supports a corresponding one of the axles, and each of which allows a corresponding one of the axles to make motions of six degrees of freedom.

Abstract: A transmission torque estimation unit estimates a torque transmittable between an outer rotary member and an inner rotary member with respect to a control signal based on: a first model obtained by modeling an equation of motion of the outer rotary member in a rotation direction; a second model obtained by modeling an equation of motion, in the rotation direction, of a support cam member and an inner pilot clutch disc as one unit; a third model obtained by modeling an equation of motion of the outer main clutch discs in the rotation direction; a fourth model obtained by modeling an equation of motion of the inner rotary member in the rotation direction; and a fifth model containing a viscoelastic model and obtained by modeling an equation of motion, in an axial direction, of the inner main clutch disc and the movable cam member as one unit.
