Road Load Data Acquisition & 分析

Optimizing vehicle components, 子系统, and systems to withstand severe loading and environmental conditions is critical to guarantee superior performance throughout their service life. Road Load Data Acquisition, 或RLDA, plays a critical role in the analysis of design, reliability and structural integrity of vehicles and vehicle components to ensure their lifetime value. 

Our experts have extensive experience in road load data measurements and transportation testing, and we understand the unique challenges that face the industry. We work with you to design and implement road load data measurement, 记录, and analysis programs that accurately characterize your products, helping you to gain a precise understanding of their overall performance and durability.

Road load data acquisition

During testing, our experts subject vehicles and components to real-world conditions and collect data in the actual service life environment (domestic or international), on the test track proving grounds, or laboratory test rigs. Road load data acquisition takes into account all essential vehicle and driving parameters such as system, subsystem and component stress and strain, as well as load, 转矩, 加速度, 位移, 压力, and vibration inputs.

The data acquired provides valuable information for engineers, 设计师, and analysts to develop and optimize components that perform as expected and meet the target durability and reliability requirements.

Developing a duty cycle

The RLDA is used to develop a duty cycle, which is a total description of operational and environmental inputs for the life of a system. It can be used as a reference to identify and set the requirements for a vehicle system and subsystem. 

Working in cooperation with component manufactures and OEM's, im体育APP has supported the development of several duty cycles that apply to vehicle platforms ranging from passenger cars and light trucks to transit bus platforms and class 8 over-the-road and specialty heavy-duty vocational trucks, including off-highway vehicle/equipment applications.

Our experts work closely with you to develop a customized duty cycle that takes individual needs into account, including cost point, 上市时间, unique operational cases, climatic conditions, 和更多的. 

The im体育APP advantage

im体育APP has an extensive inventory of commercial transducers to support multiple instrumentation and data acquisitions at the same time. Our laboratories are fully capable of performing projects requiring an excess of 400 measured parameters simultaneously. 我们可以设计, build and calibrate custom transducers and system components for acquiring the desired loading based on your specific requirements.
