  • Publication number: 20230121504
    Abstract: An overrunable test vehicle including an electronically-controlled anti-slip braking system for reducing wheel slip during rapid deceleration comprising: a chassis, at least one electric motor connected to a first axle, a hydraulic braking system connected with the chassis and at least a second axle, a rotational speed sensor for determining a rotational speed of a connected axle, a ground speed sensor, and a controller connected with the electric motor, the hydraulic braking system, the rotational speed sensor, and the ground speed sensor. The controller is configured to calculate a difference between the rotational speed of the axle and the ground speed of the chassis to determine a slip threshold of the wheels, actuate the hydraulic brake system to apply a first stopping force, control at least one motor parameter of the electric motor to apply a second stopping force.

  • Publication number: 20220185264
    Abstract: The teaching generally provide for an overrunable test vehicle for dynamic vehicle testing of advanced driver assistant systems. The overrunable test vehicle comprising a chassis with a control section defining a cavity, the control section having a profile height, and a carrier section having a profile height different than the control section profile height, the carrier section including a mounting area configured to receive a soft target. The overrunable test vehicle including a caster member supported by the chassis in the carrier section, a drive mechanism located in the control section having an electric motor and a drive wheel. The overrunable test vehicle also including a control system disposed within the cavity of the control section and coupled with the at least one electric motor for sending and receiving information.
