Abstract
A test stand for motor vehicles with a roller assembly (1) having a contact surface (3) for rolling the wheels (2), with the contact surface (3) being rotatably driven and adapted to be blocked, and/or braked, and/or released. The the roller assembly (1) is mounted for at least a slight movement with at least two degrees of freedom, and that to determine the force which is generated by the motor vehicle during driving and/or braking movements of the vehicle, it is possible to measure the force that is operative between the roller assembly (1) and a predeterminable fixed point (10), and/or the displacement occurring during driving and braking movements of the motor vehicle, and/or the angle of rotation between the roller assembly (1) and a predeterminable fixed point (10).

-59. (canceled)
A test stand for motor vehicles comprising
- a mounting frame which defines a predetermined fixed point,
- a roller assembly mounted to the frame so as to permit at least slight movement in each of at least two degrees of freedom, with said roller assembly comprising a rotatable contact surface positioned to support a rolling wheel of a motor vehicle, and a drive for rotatably driving the contact surface, and
- sensor means for measuring the force that is operative between the roller assembly and the fixed point, and/or the displacement occurring during the driving and braking movements of the motor vehicle, and/or the angle of rotation between the roller assembly and the fixed point.
