Lectures

Goal

The main objective of this course is to enable students to obtain objective information on the quality and performance of vehicles and their assemblies and parts at different stages of development, production and exploitation of vehicles using a series of procedures.

Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. Explain how to measure physical quantities electrically while testing motor vehicles; 2. Select transducers and sensors, amplifiers, supplementary and auxiliary devices and devices for displaying vehicle test results; 3. Conduct different vehicle tests; 4. Analyze test results.

Theoretical teaching

Theoretical classes are focused on the following areas: basic concepts of vehicle testing; measurement of physical quantities by electrical means; strain gauges.

Practical teaching

Practical classes consist of the following laboratory exercises: testing by simulation in CarSim software; testing of completed vehicles; testing of vehicles for transport of perishable foodstuffs; testing of vehicles for transport of dangerous goods; testing of ambulance vehicles; testing of protective structures of agricultural tractors; testing of pedestrian warning sound system for installation on electric vehicles; measurement of chassis torsional rigidity, burning behavior of vehicle interior materials, noise measurement.

Attendance requirement
