Benchmarking, development and certification tasks previously reserved for road testing are more and more relocated to vehicle testbeds. Here, a big advantage of the vehicle testbed is objectification, which means that always available test conditions, ensure efficient testing and measurement. Through their highly accurate metrology, their intuitive control and engineering automation technology (PUMA Open for Vehicle Testing) combined with AVL InMotion powered by CarMaker and AVL CAMEO, the tool chain ACT (Automated Calibration for Transmission) and associated with the measuring system AVL M.O.V.E., AVL vehicle testbeds meet all current requirements on modern and future-oriented R&D tasks as well as on an efficient developmental process. These tools and features available for all newer developments with hybrid cars and electric vehicles as well as for all requirements relating to frontloading provide an end-to-end transition from road to test rig and finally to simulation. BENEFITS AT A GLANCE • Shorter development times due to high levels of reproducibility in the vehicle tests • Continual improvement with the aid of uniform tools on all testbed types • Improvement of driveability by using PUMA Open for Vehicle Testing as well as AVL InMotion powered by CarMaker and AVL CAMEO together with ACT and the measurement system AVL M.O.V.E. TASK The vehicle testbed provides realistic images of the road and reproducible environmental conditions. Vehicles with any kind of powertrain system can be tested. This means that with further diversification of these systems the fields of application at the vehicle testbed will be broadened and a key tool equally integrating all vehicle components will be required additionally. Connecting the vehicle testbed more closely to the engine and driveline testbed by reusing test specifications, correlating test results and standardizing testing tools and methods allows for savings. Using an assessment of shifting quality and driveability, maneuver-based testing or powertrain calibration, the field of use and application range of vehicle testbeds will furthermore be effectively broadened. Since the data is collected overnight and at weekends the degree of capacity utilisation of the vehicle testbed can be significantly increased. The subsequent data evaluation and the generation of, for example, all driveability calibration variants in the office environment makes it possible to simultaneously use vehicle prototypes for other calibration tasks. AVL vehicle testbeds stand out because of impressive innovative characteristics such as • Active braking support • Implemented quality checks and service logbook • Feed-forward type of control and innovative rolling resistance control algorithms • Highly precise tractive force and speed measurement chains / 88
