Abstract
Purpose - One of the major shortcomings in the data process of the traditional wheel force transducers is the theoretical errors of initial value determination. A new method to identify the initial values of the wheel force transducer for the solution this problem is proposed in this paper.Design/methodology/approach - With this method the initial values can be obtained by equations which are established based on multiple stops on horizontal road. Findings - The calibration and contrast tests on the MTS calibration platform illustrate the better performance with the new method. Moreover, the real vehicle test confirms the effectiveness in practice.Originality/value - The test results show that the new method of Initial Calibration has an advanced performance compared to the traditional one. In addition, it is effective in the brake test with a real vehicle.
