Vehicle Acceleration Program „WGB“

To quantify WOT power & torque curves a vehicle acceleration program has been developed. The core program is a well-proven FORTRAN code, the post-processing is done in EXCEL™.

Under consideration of all important parameters, as

·        Gear ratios and efficiencies, aero-drag and downforce values as f(km/h),

·        Car weight, C.o.G., base distance, tyre size and friction coefficients,

·        Gear shift strategy & duration, slope angle, ambient correction, wind speed...

the vehicle acceleration is calculated either in part load or WOT engine conditions for a pre-defined straight-line distance.
