Description / Abstract:
This procedure provides methods to determine the appropriate
inertia values for all passenger cars and light trucks up to 4540
kg of GVWR. For the same vehicle application and axle (front or
rear), different tests sections or brake applications may use
different inertia values to reflect the duty-cycle and loading
conditions indicated on the specific test.
Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to provide a common methodology
to calculate test inertia (wheel load and tire rolling radius). The
use of common inertia values allows the comparison of test results
from different inertia-dynamometers or different testing
facilities. This makes the overall testing activities more
cost-effective and repeatable.
