Transporte automotivo e terrestre

Hero-Automotive

Ground transportation is undergoing one of the biggest changes in its history. Be it passenger cars or commercial vehicles, off-road or agricultural vehicles, motorbikes or even rail: Manufacturers must deal with fierce global competition and market consolidation – with trends such as digitalization, autonomous driving, and electrification. Rigid standards are paired with high end-user expectations regarding reliability, sound quality, ride comfort, energy consumption, driving range, and price.

All ground vehicle and rail manufacturers are under pressure to optimize their entire value chain – from R&D to production – to gain a competitive edge. Advanced simulation, virtual and physical testing are key to shorter times to market at lower cost while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, traceability, and quality assurance.

Principais áreas de aplicação

Woman on a mobile phone charging the battery of an electric car

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a rapidly growing market. New powertrains are being developed at a fast pace, requiring extensive testing and optimization. And how do auxiliary systems such as air conditioning or infotainment affect a vehicle’s electric behaviour?

 

HBK provides the entire measurement chain for electric power testing – from electric machine testing to complex inverter control testing. Acquiring mechanical and electrical signals simultaneously helps you to better understand and optimize the EV. 

Sistema de transmissão elétrico e eixos eletrônicos

Alta densidade de potência e alta velocidade: Medir o desempenho do veículo em acionamentos elétricos é um desafio. Analisar novos conceitos, como eixos eletrônicos, cria problemas adicionais. A HBK oferece um conjunto de soluções dinâmicas para medições de alta velocidade.

Certificação, WLTP e testes de alcance

A conformidade com os padrões internacionais e os rigorosos requisitos de teste são necessários para levar veículos elétricos e híbridos ao mercado e certificá-los adequadamente. A HBK fornece soluções de teste de energia para resultados de teste confiáveis e reproduzíveis.

Testes combinados elétricos e de NVH

O ruído e a vibração determinam a sensação de segurança e conforto do motorista. É fundamental entender como os componentes do trem de força afetam o ruído e a vibração e como otimizar seu comportamento. Os testes combinados para trem de força e NVH atendem a essa necessidade.

Medição de energia elétrica na produção

O equipamento de teste para ambientes de produção deve ser capaz de obter dados precisos e fornecer resultados confiáveis para uma decisão de ir ou não em frações de segundos. As soluções de teste da HBK são projetadas pensando em todos os cenários de fim de linha (EOL).

Structural integrity testing determines a vehicle’s lifetime expectancy. It’s about validating designs and balancing weight and dimensioning, safe operation, durability and robustness, performance and reliability. How well will a component, an assembly, or the full vehicle withstand typical operating load conditions for a specified period?

 

Prior to running any lab or real-world tests in the field, validating structural integrity starts with a full simulation based on CAE-models. HBK’s seamless toolbox of simulation software, data acquisition hardware, powerful post-processing software, and test services was designed to reduce time and resources throughout all test cycles.

Squeaking brakes or rattling windscreen wipers are typical examples of unwanted noise in a car caused by mechanical vibration. As the driver can hear and feel it, it affects driving comfort and – more subtly – his or her perception of the car brand. Surely the driver of a luxury limousine is less likely to tolerate unwanted noise than the driver of a small city car. Hence how we assess noise is closely associated with what we expect. 

 

Measuring noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) is a means for development engineers to evaluate noise levels and keep them within limits that are acceptable to most customers. Learn more about how HBK’s vast range of simulation, virtual and physical testing solutions can help you master any NVH challenges.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving are two megatrends in automotive. Developing these systems and their highly challenging safety features implies complex and comprehensive testing, with massive quantities of data to be analysed faster than real-time.

 

HBK offers an integrated approach of simulation software as well as best-in-class sensors and powerful electronics for subsequent validation in virtual and physical testing. Why go for less than maximum efficiency and reliability in designing ADAS and autonomous driving systems?
