Application of Kalman Filter in Brake Inertia Dynamometer of Motorcycle

Abstract:

In order to obtain the brake’s performance and related characteristics accurately and completely, a brake inertia dynamometer with the method of mechanical and electric inertia simulation was designed in this paper. By adjusting the output torque of the motor and inertia fly wheels, the equivalent inertia of the motorcycle was simulated on the inertia dynamometer. The relation between simulated inertia and output torque of the motor was presented. Due to the strong interference and high requirement of control accuracy, a PID control algorithm was proposed for the rotational speed contro1. Moreover, Kalman filter was designed to eliminate the random noise and industrial frequency disturbance. The experimental results demonstrated that the inertia dynamometer’s accuracy and efficiency were improved significantly. Moreover, the brake testing platform worked stably and reliably.
