Patent ID: 7013704

Claim:
System for carrying out research on a drivable vehicle ( 4 , 31 ) or a component thereof having an intelligent system comprising at least one sensor, actuator and on-board computer, said system comprising: a test stand ( 1 , 34 ) on which the vehicle ( 4 , 31 ) or the component can be positioned, in a stationary or simulated driven position, which vehicle ( 4 , 31 ) or which component is provided with at least one sensor ( 21 , 40 ) for receiving signals from the environment of the vehicle ( 4 , 31 ) or of the component, at least one object ( 2 , 27 ) which is situated in the vicinity of the test stand ( 1 , 34 ), means ( 11 , 30 ) for generating a relative movement between the test stand ( 1 , 34 ) and the at least one object ( 2 , 27 ), and a control computer for coordinating the relative movement between the test stand ( 1 , 34 ) and the object ( 2 , 27 ), in which the control computer holds a program which simulates at least part of the real state of the vehicle or of the component which is missing in the state in which the vehicle ( 4 , 31 ) or the object is situated on the test stand ( 1 , 34 ).
