Development of a ROS controlled chassis dynamometer for lightweight, single seater EVs

TUCer team developed a prototype, portable chassis dynamometer capable of carrying out experimentation with alternate scenarios of acceleration, constant speed and deceleration, in a fully automated way. A controller scheme based on Robot Operating System was programmed, using open source tools. The testing scenarios are implemented using a motor/generator and an electronically controlled load, embedded on the dynamometer. Extensive testing during TUCer systems' development and real race conditions proved the dynamometer's reliability and functionality.
