A system and method for powertrain testing of a powertrain under load using a computer network includes a plurality of computer nodes for monitoring and adjustably controlling the powertrain and applied load for acquiring powertrain data relating to powertrain performance. A shared memory is connected to the plurality of computer nodes for receiving in real time the powertrain data generated by each of the plurality of computer nodes. An integrating computer node is connected to the shared memory for receiving in real time powertrain data and is arranged to send different commands to the plurality of computer nodes as part of a powertrain testing process. Further, the present invention allows for the powertrain testing of a powertrain in deterministic real time to develop the powertrain, as well as create a powertrain calibration.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a fault detection system for a dynamometer includes circuitry for measuring the armature voltage of the dynamometer. The voltage can used as an indicator of dynamometer speed to prevent reverse rotation of the dynamometer and to prevent overspeed operation of the dynamometer.

A motor vehicle related operating signal, such as a torque signal produced by operation of an engine of the motor vehicle, is monitored to produce a frequency signature for the vehicle. The frequency signature is filtered by a fuzzy spectral filter to extract a frequency membership for the vehicle which is utilized to generate characteristic signals representative of the vehicle. Signals representative of vehicle inertia (J), vehicle horsepower (HP) and relative vehicle temperature (RVT) are extracted by a radial basis function (RBF) neural network. These characteristic signals are then used to control the vehicle directly via a powertrain control module (PCM) or via a robot driver for vehicle test purposes. For robot control, an anticipated throttle lag and an anticipated brake lag are generated and used to more accurately and repeatedly control the robot to simulate a human driver in following acceleration curves for vehicle testing purposes.

A powertrain system includes a powertrain and a controller. The controller commands a change in torque produced by the powertrain for a given change in pedal position according to a default calibration schedule that is defined by a driving style of a driver such that the change in torque is different for different drivers.
