3 Test conditions
3.1 Road
The test road shall be straight; the longitudinal slope shall not be larger than
1%; the road surface shall be dry; the unevenness shall be uniform without
sudden change. The total length of the test road shall not be less than the
shortest path length required by the number of test samples; there shall be a
steady speed section of 30 m ~ 50 m at both ends.
The pulse input running test road shall be a bituminous road surface or a
cement road surface; the road surface grade is in accordance with the grade-A
road surface specified in GB/T 7031-2005. The random input running test road
shall be a bituminous road surface or a cement road surface; the specific test
road surface grade is determined as required.
3.2 Wind speed
The wind speed is not more than 5 m/s.
3.3 Automotive technology status
3.3.1 All automobile assemblies, parts, accessories and auxiliary devices
(including tools and spare tires) shall be fully equipped as required and installed
in the specified positions. The adjustment status shall meet the requirements of
the vehicle design technical conditions.
3.3.2 The tire inflation pressure shall meet the requirements of the vehicle
design technical conditions; the error shall not exceed ±3% of the specified
inflation pressure.
3.4 Load of the vehicle
The load of the vehicle is the rated maximum loading mass; other loading
conditions can be tested as needed. The load shall be evenly distributed and
firmly fixed. During the test, it shall not be shaken or overturned; the mass shall
not be changed due to moisture, loss, etc.
3.5 Load of the human-chair system
3.5.1 The load of the test part shall be a real person whose height is 1.70 m ±
0.05 m and weight is 65 kg ± 5 kg.
3.5.2 The load of the non-test part shall comply with the relevant regulations in
Table 1 of GB/T 12534-1990.
3.6 Seated position
The occupants at the test part shall relax their whole body, wear a seat belt,
and place their hands on their thighs naturally. The driver's hands shall be
placed on the steering wheel naturally, and the seated position shall be kept
unchanged during the test. Under normal circumstances, the occupants shall
naturally lean on the backrest; otherwise, it shall be noted.
3.7 Test vehicle speed
5 Test method
5.1 The acceleration transducer is installed in the following locations:
a) Type M vehicles: above the driver and the rear seat cushion on the same
side; on the seat back; on the floor where the feet are supported;
b) Type N vehicles: above the driver’s seat cushion; on the seat back; on the
floor where the feet are supported; at the center of the compartment floor;
on the compartment floor at a distance of 300 mm from the compartment
sideboard on the same side as the driver and the compartment backboard.
The vibration in three directions need be measured above the seat cushion, on
the seat back, and on the floor where the feet are supported. The acceleration
time history includes vertical (Z-axis) vibration, transverse (Y-axis) vibration and
longitudinal (X-axis) vibration. The acceleration transducer on the compartment
floor only needs to measure the vertical vibration.
The layout of the transducer on the seat back is shown in Figure 2; the
transducer on the floor where the feet are supported is arranged in the middle
of the driver's (or occupant's) feet. The transducers which are installed above
the seat cushion and on the seat back shall be in close contact with the human
body. The structure of the transducer above the seat cushion is shown in Figure
B.1; the structure of the transducer on the seat back is shown in Figure B.2.
The measuring points can be added appropriately as required.
5.2 Pulse input running test method
5.2.1 Place the bumps in the middle of the test road; adjust the distance
between the two bumps according to the vehicle wheelbase. To ensure that the
left and right wheels of the vehicle pass the bumps at the same time, the two
bumps shall be placed on a straight line perpendicular to the direction of the
vehicle.
5.2.2 During the test, the vehicle runs over the bumps at a constant speed of
the specified speed. The vehicle speed shall be stabilized 50 m before the
vehicle passes the bump. Start recording when the front wheel of the vehicle
approaches the bump; stop recording when the vehicle passes over the bump
and the impact response disappears.
5.2.3 The number of effective tests for each vehicle speed shall be no less than
5 times.
on the seat back, on the floor of the occupant's (or driver’s) feet, and on the
floor of the compartment. AND the vehicle speed v
6.1.2 Auxiliary evaluation method
When the peak factor is greater than 9, the basic evaluation method cannot fully
describe the impact of vibration on the human body, and the auxiliary evaluation
method, namely the fourth power vibration dose, shall be used for evaluation
(see Appendix A).
Refer to Appendix A for the meaning and calculation of the evaluation index of
the basic evaluation method and auxiliary evaluation method of the pulse input
running test.
