The iGEM 2 test automation system guides you through
the entire brake test procedure, including pre-test dialog,
test preparation and the test run itself. The test cycle is
run automatically in an unmanned mode.
We have years of experience as a
developer and manufacturer of par-
ticle measurement equipment, and
this allows us to support modern
electrified vehicle development as
well as conventional combustion-
powered vehicles. Brake systems
in electrified powertrains must be
considered as a whole due to their
interfaces and interactions with the
vehicle and the need to recuper-
ate braking energy. The required
consideration of vehicle operating
strategies for optimized emission
behavior and the use of appropri-
ate simulation tools. Fortunately,
when it comes to co-simulation on
the testbed, we can draw on many
years of experience, and our solu-
tions cover all current development
requirements.
In addition to the testing system
AVL also developed the testing
automation tool AVL iGEM 2™
for brake wear testing. This solu-
tion enables the execution of legal-
ly required tests and offers simple
modification options for custom-
er-specific development tasks. The
application’s associated test evalu-
ation and automatic test report-
ing round off this lean, optimized
package. Furthermore, we have
also developed a solution to con-
vert your existing testbed infra-
structure for brake emission tests.
This could help to gain utilization
of existing testbeds with minimum
investment.
In analogy to exhaust gas legisla-
tion, it can be assumed that in the
medium-term braking emissions
will be examined not only on the
basis of component tests on the tes-
tbed, but also in real driving opera-
tion. Here, too, we are already tak-
ing the first development steps, and
will build on our success in exhaust
emission reduction.
