Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of determining the stress that should be applied to a tire during an indoor endurance bench test. The method includes the steps of driving a vehicle along a sample road route; measuring variations in the longitudinal speed and position of the vehicle during its journey along the sample road route; and calculating the inertial forces acting on the vehicle during its journey along the sample road route, on the basis of variations in the longitudinal speed and position of the vehicle.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of determining the stress that should be applied to a tire during an indoor endurance bench test, the method comprising the steps of: driving a vehicle ( 1 ) along a sample road route; measuring variations in the longitudinal speed (V x ) and position (P) of the vehicle ( 1 ) as it travels along the sample road route; and calculating via an electronic control unit the inertial forces (FI x , FI y ) acting on the vehicle ( 1 ) as it travels…
