Embry Riddle Aeronautical University
Development of a Hybrid Vehicle Powertrain Test Laboratory
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>During the last two years, <a href="http://search.proquest.com.ezproxy.libproxy.db.erau.edu/pqdtglobal/docview/1571829159/abstract/A34E75CABF574DC1PQ/2?accountid=27203#">Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University</a> has installed and tested a fully functional eddy-current chassis dynamometer testing facility on campus. An automotive test facility requires a systems engineering approach to install, calibrate and commission a chassis dynamometer. This thesis shows that, the dynamometer test facility was successfully installed, commissioned and documented to safely support the power train development and testing. We can currently test the EcoCAR vehicle and a number of other front-wheel-drive vehicles at our university campus using the eddy current chassis dynamometer.</p>
