Characterizing Class 8 vehicle driveline performance through remote data acquisition
Abstract
The application of this study is a model for collecting data remotely and employing additional vehicles in differing applications and markets. This project designed and implemented a remote data acquisition system to characterize duty cycle driveline performance on a Class 8 truck. The data acquisition capabilities are described, including estimation of propshaft torque, vehicle mass, and sufficient data. Experimental results are used to validate the estimation techniques. Research determined the necessary parameters to be recorded, required instrumentation to monitor such parameters, the data collection process, and data analysis deliverables.
