Abstract

A method for analyzing the driving behavior of motor vehicle wherein a car's driveability is measured easily on a test stand by conducting tests with an actual vehicle to obtain measurement variables describing driving behavior; then defining at least one rating (Dr) indicating the car's driveability as a function of one or more measurement variables; then preparing a simulation model to represent dependencies between the individual measurement variables and, in particular, to compute the rating (Dr) from a set of predefined measurement variables which can be obtained both from the actual vehicle and on a test stand; and then calibrating a dynamic test stand with the use of the simulation model.
