Abstract
A dynamometer includes a dynamometer chassis configured to support a vehicle thereon. A roller load test unit is mounted in a load supporting surface of the dynamometer chassis, and a chassis to chassis load measurement device is attached between the dynamometer chassis and a chassis of the vehicle positioned on the dynamometer chassis. A load sensing mechanism is attached within the chassis to chassis load measurement device between the dynamometer chassis and the chassis of the vehicle supported on the dynamometer chassis such that a longitudinal axis of the vehicle extends therethrough, and the load sensing mechanism is configured to measure force in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
