BRAKING SYSTEM FOR A TEST PLATFORM

An overrunable test platform (10) including an electronically-controlled anti-slip braking system (50, 60) for reducing wheel slip during rapid deceleration comprising a chassis (12), at least one electric motor (24) connected to a first axle, a hydraulic braking system connected with the chassis (12) and at least a second axle, a rotational speed sensor (56) for determining a rotational speed of a connected axle, a ground speed sensor, and a controller (80) connected with the electric motor (24) , the hydraulic braking system, the rotational speed sensor (56), and the ground speed sensor. The controller (80) is configured to calculate a difference between the rotational speed of the axle and the ground speed of the chassis (12) to determine a slip threshold of the wheels (18), actuate the hydraulic brake system to apply a first stopping force, control at least one motor parameter of the electric motor (24) to apply a second stopping force. The first and second stopping forces combined are less than the slip threshold of the wheels (18) such that the chassis (12) rapidly decelerates free of a wheel slip condition.
