Abstract
A device and method for simulating rotation of a wheel on a vehicle having a rotatable wheel rotation sensor. A motor is coupled to a rotatable portion of the rotation sensor, and is operated to rotate the rotatable portion of the rotation sensor according to a pulse train simulating a wheel skid.
Claims19
A test device to simulate rotation of a wheel on a vehicle having a rotatable wheel rotation sensor, the device comprising:
- a motor coupleable to a rotatable portion of the rotation sensor;
- and
- a motion controller in communication with the motor to operate the motor to rotate the rotatable portion of the rotation sensor according to a pulse train simulating a wheel skid.
A method of simulating rotation of a wheel on a vehicle having a rotatable wheel rotation sensor, comprising:
- coupling a motor to a rotatable portion of the rotation sensor;
- and
- operating the motor to rotate the rotatable portion of the rotation sensor according to a pulse train simulating a wheel skid.
A method of simulating rotation of wheels on a vehicle having rotatable wheel rotation sensors, comprising:
- coupling motors to rotatable portions of the rotation sensors;
- operating at least one of the motors to rotate at least one of the rotatable portions of at least one of the rotation sensors according to a velocity mode;
- and
- operating another of the motors to rotate another of the rotatable portions of another of the rotation sensors according to a pulse train simulating a single wheel skid.
A method of testing vehicle system functionality, comprising:
- coupling a motor to a rotatable portion of a vehicle wheel rotation sensor;
- and
- operating the motor to rotate the rotatable portion of the rotation sensor according to a pulse train simulating a wheel skid;
- and
- sensing wheel rotation using the rotation sensor.
