Control of Standard Engine Test Bench System for Dynamic Road Load Tests

We developed a new engine test bench system available for dynamic road load tests. The mechanical system of the engine test bench system is as same as a standard engine test bench system. To control it, we adoped I-PD-like 3rd order controller, a virtual vehicle model and engine angular velocity estimator. Our engine test bench system enables to do various tests of an engine without a driveline or a vehicle body, but the engine is loaded as if it were mounted in a vehicle
