Abstract

See full text

A method and system for evaluating and tuning tires includes a test rig on which one or more physical tires are mounted. A full vehicle model and a road description are used with the test rig to test and evaluate the tire as would be conducted on a real test track. The full vehicle model is modified to remove the characteristics of the tire or tires under test. The remainder of the full vehicle model produces output signals in the form of displacements or loads that are transmitted as inputs to the test rig to apply those signals. The test rig measures output signals in the form of complementary displacements or loads that will become inputs to the vehicle model in place of the removed model of the tire under test. In this manner, the physical tire under test is inserted into a real time model of the full vehicle, road and driver.
