One of a rail and a traveling part of the linear guide is fixed to the first movable frame. The carriage includes a main frame having an alignment mechanism support part that accommodates the alignment part. The other of the rail and the traveling part is fixed to the alignment mechanism support part.

In this vehicle inspection system for inspecting the driving functionality of a vehicle that carries out automatic driving or driving assistance, when a monitor and the vehicle are being aligned on a bench testing machine, a simulator device displays an image of a straight road on the monitor, a wheel sensor (wheel position sensor) detects the steering direction of a wheel (front wheel) steered using a lane keeping function, and an image position adjustment device (monitor position adjustment device) moves the image in the opposite direction from the steering direction of the wheel until the wheel reaches a neutral state of not being steered.

A vehicle testing device including a cooling device, which is capable of freely selecting a part to be cooled and a wind direction in accordance with a purpose of a test is provided. The vehicle testing device that tests a test piece that is a vehicle or a part of the vehicle includes a rotating body on which the test piece is placed, and a cooling device that sends air from a side of the test piece to at least a part of the test piece in order to cool the test piece placed on the rotating body.

A vehicle vibration method suitable for performing a test simulating a rough road, the vehicle vibration method using a vibration device that causes at least one wheel of a test target vehicle, the method including: an initial height setting step including setting a shaft distance in the front-rear direction between a front shaft and a rear shaft to an initial setting distance and setting the wheel at an initial setting height; a vibration step including performing vibration by at least one selected from a raising operation step including narrowing the shaft distance from the initial setting distance to raise the wheel from the initial setting height, and a lowering operation step including widening the shaft distance from the initial setting distance to lower the wheel from the initial setting height; and a return step including setting back the shaft distance to the initial setting distance.

A duct body (101) of a blowing device provided in a chassis dynamometer includes a bottom wall (31), a top wall (32) and a pair of side walls (33) that form a flow passage having a rectangular cross section. In each of the side wall (33), a vertically elongated window part (42) is formed for enabling the passage of vehicle restraint member such as a chain (5). Each window part (42) is closed through the tiled arrangement of a few cover plates (53, 54), and a chain plate set (100). The chain plate set (100) is formed through the sandwiching of an elastic sheet member (61, 62) having a restraint member through hole (63) and a slit (64) between an inner plate (51) and an outer plate (52) each having an opening part (57, 58).

A device for applying vibrations to passenger cars has a platform with a roller on which a front or rear pair of wheels of the passenger car can be positioned. The roller has for each wheel positioned thereon at least two tracks with a different relief. In a first position the passenger car is located with the wheels on a first pair of the tracks and in a second position is located with the wheels on another pair of the tracks so that by rotating the rollers under the wheels vibrations are applied to the passenger car by the relief of the roller. Each track has a width greater than a greatest of the different wheel widths. There is a distance between each of the first and second pair of the tracks which is substantially equal to a greatest of the different track widths.

Disclosed in this invention is a flat-belt type VTEHIL test bench for commercial vehicles, including a main bench body and a bench test system. The main bench body is mounted inside a foundation and includes a main bench frame, a bench cover, front axle flat-belt assemblies and rear axle flat-belt assemblies. Each front axle flat-belt assembly is provided therein with a fixed plate, a rotary disc and a limiting mechanism. Each rear axle flat-belt assembly includes a flat belt and flat belt pulleys disposed both within the flat belt at opposing ends thereof. The foundation defines a sector-shaped mounting depression in which the main bench body is mounted, and an iron floor is arranged under the main bench body. This invention can better simulate actual driving surfaces and accommodate two-axle, three-axle, four-axle and other types of trucks or tractors. The test bench is able to test unmanned driving capabilities of intelligent commercial vehicles by allowing them to take lane changing, turning, braking and other driving actions in simulated setups and providing them with various traffic scenarios created with simulated traffic participants.

The present invention enables testing with high reproducibility under various conditions. This present invention is provided with: a testing platform on which a vehicle to be tested is mounted and which is capable of changing the orientation and the direction of the vehicle to be tested; an environment reproduction mechanism for reproducing the environment around the vehicle to be tested; a running condition reproduction mechanism that moves relatively to the vehicle to be tested and reproduces the running state of the vehicle; and a building that covers the testing platform, the running condition reproduction mechanism, and the environment reproduction mechanism, and that sets the surroundings of the testing platform as an indoor space.

A vibrating device is provided that can appropriately reproduce a vibrating state during travel of a vehicle. A vibrating actuator (12) of a vibrating device (1) vibrates a driving wheel W by driving a second roller (16) in a front-rear direction in a state where a lower side portion of the driving wheel W is held between a first roller (17) and the second roller (16). In a case where the wheel W is in a creep state, the second roller (16) is driven so as to rotate in a reverse direction to the driving wheel W by a rotating actuator (170).
