This part of ISO 15037 specifies the general conditions that apply when vehicle dynamics properties are determined according to ISO test methods carried out on heavy vehicles. These are commercial vehicles, combinations, buses and articulated buses, as defined in ISO 3833 for trucks and trailers above 3,5 t and buses above 5 t maximum weight, and in UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) and EC vehicle classification, categories M3, N2, N3, O3 and O4.
In particular, it specifies general conditions for
-
variables,
-
measuring equipment and data processing,
-
environment (test track and wind velocity),
-
test vehicle preparation (tuning and loading),
-
initial driving, and
-
test reporting (general data and test conditions),
which are of general significance, independent of the specific vehicle dynamics test procedure. They apply when vehicle dynamics properties are determined, unless other conditions are required by the standard actually used for the test method.
NOTE The general conditions defined in existing vehicle dynamics standards are valid up until the point when a respective reference to this part of ISO 15037 is included.
