RC-S Real Car Simulation Bench
This system can evaluate various performance aspects of next-generation vehicles without including tire elements.
It reproduces transient behavior that cannot be achieved with a chassis dynamometer, enabling vehicle control evaluation including regenerative braking targeted at electric vehicles, as well as vehicle noise measurement excluding road noise. It is also a system capable of evaluating autonomous driving functions.
RC-S realizes transient testing with real vehicles by combining real-time model computation and low-inertia motors. By replacing the actual vehicle wheels with tire-type bearings and connecting the axle shaft to the outside of the vehicle to a low-inertia motor, it enables various evaluations excluding tire elements.
Additionally, by connecting to ADAS/AD verification simulation tools, it is possible to evaluate autonomous driving functions such as lane-keep assist on the test bench, as well as measure vehicle noise using a sound level meter.
