Knowledge on the basic characteristics of modern motor vehicles. Getting to know the basic principles that are applied when determining vehicle performances and basic concepts from the field of terramechanics.
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. Explain what are the motor vehicle performances; 2. Define the methods to test the performances of motor vehicles; 3. Carry out vehicle performance tests; 4. Analyze the results of vehicle performance tests.
The theoretical part of course consists of the following areas: general about the vehicle and its performances with reference to the basic terms from terramechanics; defining, designing and determining the performances of systems, components and elements of motor vehicles and trailers; vehicle performance testing (methods, equipment, reports).
Practical part of the course consists of the following exercises: measuring the maximum speed of the vehicle; use of chassis dyno for vehicle testing purposes; measurement of rolling resistance coefficient and adhesion coefficient; measurement of vibrations in the driver's seat; determining the position of the vehicle's center of gravity; determination of the driver's field of vision; bus protective structure testing; wind tunnel testing; crash detection system testing.
