Operational area of the system will be test cars of automobile manufacturers deployed to examine the perfomance of brakes under different drive conditions.
Actual task is the hardware design and the sourcing of hardware components.
As developed and patented from WSD so far, the torque delivered from a combustion engine can in principle be estimated from angular velocity of the crankshaft. But therefore the correlation between speed, torque and a feature extracted from angular velocity must be known. This correlation in the form of a characteristic mapping must be gained in advance for every engine type on a test bed. The reproducibility of this mapping and thus the reliability of the method is the subject of a cooperation between WSD and the project partners Audi AG, IAV and Robert Bosch GmbH. Diagnosis of Rail Traction Diesel Motors Within the scope of this project different types of diesel motors, built in locomotives, are under investigation. For this purpose the motors are driven in an appropriate test run.
