Controller Design for a Test Bench for Seat Belt Systems

In the product development of vehicle seat belt systems there is a strong need for the possibility of an isolated component testing that is comparable to real world car crashes. A test bench concept that is able to fulfill this requirement is presented. This test bench mainly consists of a highly dynamic actuator system for which a control scheme is presented.
