Vehicles with an electric drive system, especially vehicles with direct drive, have new options to improve driving comfort. Under the “Ride Blending” project we made a mechanical model of a prototype vehicle with Elaphe in-wheel motors. We found and measured all needed input data for an ADAMS vehicle model. For experimental validation we needed to design measuring systems for measuring the vertical movement of the wheel, longitudinal vehicle speed and accelerations of sprung and unsprung mass. The design of the measuring system was tested with a test drive.
