Application of Vehicle's Can Based Network in Transmission Service Load Data Acquisition

One of the most important factors which impacts a new product development, including its testing, is duration of development activities. It is of great importance to reduce the time from the initial technical specification of the new product till the moment of launching its serial production. That task is mainly oriented to the development engineers who are under great pressure to satisfy market driven demands for fast and reliable new product design. Taking into consideration mechanical systems like the vehicles, the knowledge of service load is of great importance for development process. The knowledge of service load for particular system under development can: Reduce development process dramatically and can make all design calculation extremely accurate. As a consequence, deep understanding of service load, integrated with up-to-date tools for static and dynamic stress calculations including software tools for other phenomena simulation (like vibration, noise, etc.) can make real object testing needless. Enable in-lab system testing and verification through exposing it to previously acquired service load. In that way in-field or on-road testing can be avoided and the total testing time can be reduced. It is of importance that in-lab testing, which is based on acquired data which are appropriately evaluated, can be significantly accelerated.
