Brake testing system, brake testing method, and program for brake testing system

A brake testing method for testing a brake of a vehicle driven on a bench having a rotating body, comprising:

• a rotation control step for controlling to make the rotating body rotate at a predetermined rotational speed;
• a torque acquiring step for acquiring a torque value generated on the rotating body by the brake of the vehicle being operated;
• a time period acquiring step for acquiring a time period during which the brake of the vehicle is operated;
• a braking work load calculating step for calculating a work load of the brake based on the rotational speed of the rotating body controlled in the rotation control step, the torque value acquired in the torque acquiring step, and the time period acquired in the time period acquiring step;
• a brake dust amount calculating step for calculating a brake dust amount generated by the brake of the vehicle being operated;
• and
• a brake performance data generating step for generating a set of brake performance data associating the brake dust amount calculated in the brake dust amount calculating step and the work load of the brake calculated in the work load calculating step.

A non-transitory program recording medium recorded with a program for a brake testing system to test a brake of a vehicle driven on a bench having a rotating body, the program making a computer implement:

• a function as a rotation control unit that controls to make the rotating body rotate at a predetermined rotational speed;
• a function as a torque acquiring unit that acquires a torque value generated on the rotating body by the brake of the vehicle being operated;
• a function as a time period acquiring unit that acquires a time period during which the brake of the vehicle is operated;
• a function as a braking work load calculating unit that calculates a work load of the brake based on the rotational speed of the rotating body controlled by the rotation control unit, the torque value acquired by the torque acquiring unit, and the time period acquired by the time period acquiring unit;
• a function as a brake dust amount calculating unit that calculates a brake dust amount generated by the brake of the vehicle being operated;
• and
• a function as a brake performance data generating unit that generates a set of brake performance data associating the brake dust amount and the work load of the brake.
