System and Method for Testing Vehicle Brake and Steering Systems

Source
A system for testing braking and steering systems of a vehicle includes a steering actuator to cause rotation of the steering wheel and electropneumatic modules associated with each wheel brake that include a solenoid controlling fluid communication between a brake actuator of the wheel brake and one of a fluid source and atmosphere. A controller transmits a first control signal to an electropneumatic module associated with a wheel brake on one side of the vehicle to actuate the solenoid of the electropneumatic module. The controller transmits a second control signal to the steering actuator to cause rotation of the steering wheel during actuation of the solenoid of the electropneumatic module and in a rotational direction towards the same side of the vehicle.
