    摘要: A method and apparatus for analyzing the performance of wheeled, land vehicle brake systems wherein means are provided for driving the vehicle wheels at a predetermined speed and the operator or computer controlled brake actuator selectively applies the brakes in a series of simple successive steps comprising the test sequence. The pedal pressure, or other actuating force, the brake effort exerted by each wheel, and the imbalance between the braking effort of opposite wheels is measured and recorded on a strip chart or fed to a computer, to determine if the measured values fall outside of a predetermined range of values representing acceptable deviations from standard values. Any deviation of the brake effort from the acceptable values, or excessive imbalance between opposite wheels at any point in the test sequence, may be used as a basis for diagnosing and identifying a specific brake malfunction. The system can be enlarged to simultaneously test the brakes on all wheels of a land vehicle.

    摘要: A removable brake pedal actuator for applying a force to conventional vehicle brake pedals in accordance with a control signal for brake testing purposes is described. The actuator includes a frame which rests on the vehicle floor board and is held in place by an operator''s foot. A contact pad is provided for engagement with the brake pedal. A force transferring or coupling mechanism in the form of a pneumatically operated piston cylinder assembly is connected between the frame and pedal contact pad to provide a pedal force in response to the control signal. A contact sensor is mounted on the contact pad to provide an indication that the contact pad is in actual contact with the brake pedal. A pressure sensor is also carried by the contact pad for engagement with the brake pedal to provide a signal representative of the force applied to the brake pedal. A floor clearance probe or transducer is also provided on the actuator for providing an indication that the distance between the brake pedal and vehicle floor has decreased below a minimum acceptable value. The piston can be connected to a position indicating transducer such as a potentiometer for permitting the travel of the brake pedal to be ascertained during braking tests. The actuator may be a part of a servo control loop in which feedback signals representative of a desired braking effort or brake pedal pressure are used to control the actuator.
