Abstract:
The paper deals with the measuring equipment used to conduct two-wheeler
braking system testing. When in motion, two-wheelers are initially less stable than
cars, which necessitates creating more advanced active safety systems (ASS) that take
into account the characteristics of their motion. Active safety systems available today
operate on the basis of control algorithms that use kinematic parameters as sources of
information, which requires performing approximate estimation of the relative slip in
the contact patch between the wheel and the road. This leads to more complex control
algorithms and increased cost of the entire system. To improve the safety of twowheelers,
an active safety system operating on the basis of control algorithms which
use primary information about road conditions as sources of information must be
developed. The primary information includes a number of forces, brake power, the
magnitude of lateral forces, normal reactions in the contact patch between the wheel
and the road. When creating and testing new anti-lock braking systems and their
improved control algorithms, rig and road tests must be performed where testing
conditions closely represent the real modes of operation of the active safety systems
being developed. To conduct the rig tests under conditions close to real-world
scenarios, a specialized rig for two-wheelers must be developed and created.
