Development of 3-D Digital Proving Ground Profiles for Use in Virtual Prediction of Vehicle System/Sub-System Loads 2011-01-0189
The usage of multi-body dynamics tools for the prediction of
vehicle system/sub-system loads, has significantly reduced the need
to measure vehicle loads at proving grounds. The success of these
tools is limited by the quality of the digital representations
being used to simulate the physical test roads. The development of
these digital roads is not a trivial task due to the large quantity
of data and processing required. In the end, the files must be
manageable in size, have a globally common format, and be
simulation-friendly.
The authors present a methodology for the development of high
quality 3-dimensional (3-D) digital proving ground profiles. These
profiles will be used in conjunction with a multi-body dynamics
software package (ADAMS) and the FTire™ model. The authors
present a case study below.
