English

Subject field(s)
  • Tests and Simulations (Transportation)
  • Road Transport
OBS

When testing vehicles, mounting them on a laboratory chassis dynamometer and running them through simulated city and highway courses is a better method of testing than on-the-road testing because all test conditions can be carefully controlled in a laboratory, ensuring that all vehicles are tested under identical conditions.

OBS

Lors d'essais automobile, il est préférable d'installer les véhicules en laboratoire sur un dynamomètre à châssis, qui simule des parcours en ville et sur la route. Cette méthode est nettement préférable aux essais sur route, car elle permet de soumettre tous les véhicules à des conditions d'essai identiques et rigoureusement contrôlées.
