PEDAL FEEL TEST APPARATUS AND METHOD

DRIVE December 30, 2015
Source
The present disclosure relates to a method of testing behaviour of a vehicle brake system in dependence on operation of a brake pedal (P). A first graphical indicator (45) is displayed on a display screen (9) to indicate a target brake pedal travel or a target brake pedal load. A second graphical indicator (55) is displayed on the display screen (9) to represent the measured brake pedal travel or the brake pedal load. The brake pedal (P) is displaced at least substantially to match the measured brake pedal travel to the target brake pedal travel or to match the measured brake pedal load to the target brake pedal load. A hydraulic system pressure is monitored as the brake pedal is displaced to determine if the vehicle brake system satisfies one or more predefined metrics. The present disclosure also relates to a test apparatus (1); a pedal measurement apparatus (7); and a method of measuring pedal travel.
