Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be rep-
resented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 7975 was prepared by Technical Committee

Introduction
The dynamic behaviour of a road vehicle is a most important part of the
active vehicle safety. Any given vehicle, together with its driver and the
prevailing environment, constitutes a closed-loop system which is unique.
The task of evaluating the dynamic behaviour is therefore very difficult,
since the significant interaction of these driver-vehicle-road elements are
each complex in themselves. A description of the behaviour of the road
vehicle must inevitably involve information obtained from a number of
tests of different types.
Since the braking in a turn test procedure quantifies only one small part of
the complete handling characteristics, the results of this test can only be
considered significant for a correspondingly small part of the overall
dynamic behaviour.
Moreover, insufficient knowledge is available concerning the relationship
between overall vehicle dynamic properties and accident avoidance. A
large amount of work is necessary to acquire sufficient and reliable data on
the correlation between accident avoidance and vehicle dynamic properties
in general and the results of this test in particular. Therefore, it is not
possible to use this procedure for regulation purposes.

3 Principle
The purpose of this test procedure is to determine the effect of braking on course holding and directional behaviour
of a vehicle, whose steady-state circular motion is disturbed by a braking action only.
The initial conditions are defined by constant longitudinal velocity and by a circle with a given radius. The steering-
wheel angle required for the steady-state circular run shall be constantly maintained during the entire test. During
the test the driver input and the vehicle response are measured and recorded. From the recorded signals,
characteristic values are calculated.
The variables of motion used to describe the effect of braking on course holding and directional behaviour of the
vehicle relate to the intermediate axis system XI Yf Z (see IS0 8855).

---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
IS0 7975: 1996(E) @ IS0
The location of the origin of the intermediate axis system, being the reference point, is independent from loading
condition. It is fixed in the longitudinal plane of symmetry at half wheelbase and at the same height above the
ground as the centre of gravity of the vehicle at complete vehicle kerb mass (see IS0 1176).
4 Variables
The following variables shall be measured:
- moment of brake application, to;
- steering-wheel angle, &Hi
- lateral acceleration, ay;
- longitudinal acceleration, ax;
- longitudinal velocity, vx;
- yaw velocity, *.
It is recommended to measure the following variables as well:
- pressure at master cylinder output or in the brake circuit which activates at least one of the front wheel
brakes, PB;
- roll angle, (p;
- pitch angle, 8;
- sideslip angle, p;
or lateral velocity, vy;
- stopping distance, sB;
- wheel rotation speed, o1 - ~0~.
The variables are defined in IS0 8855 except the stopping distance, the brake pressure and the moment of brake
application to, which is the instant at which the brake pedal is operated. Alternatively the actuation of the brake
light switch may be used to specify the moment of brake application to.
5 Measuring equipment
5.1 Description
The variables selected from those listed in clause 4 shall be measured by means of appropriate transducers and
their time histories shall be recorded by a multi-channel recorder. This does not obligatorily apply to stopping
distance, which can be measured directly after the test has been completed. The typical operating ranges and
recommended maximum errors of the transducer and recording system are shown in table 1. The values in table 1
are tentative and provisional until more experience is available.
5.2 Transducer installation
The transducers shall be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions where such instructions exist, so
that the variables corresponding to the terms and definitions of IS0 8855 can be determined.
If the transducer does not measure the values directly, appropriate transformations into the reference system shall
be carried out.

The frequency range relevant for this test is between 0 Hz and the maximum utilized frequency of fmax = 5 Hz.
According to the chosen data processing method, analog or digital, the stipulations given in 5.3.1 or 5.32 shall be
observed.
5.3.1 Analog data processing
The bandwidth of the entire combined transducer/recording system shall be no less than 8 Hz.
In order to execute the necessary filtering of signals, low-pass filters with order four or higher shall be employed.
The width of the passband frequency fo at -3 dB shall not be less than 8 Hz. Amplitude errors shall be less than

order to ensure that time delay differences lie within the required accuracy for time measurement.
Additional filters shall be avoided in the data acquisition string.
Amplification of the signals shall be such that, in relation with the digitizing process, the additional error is less than
0,2 %.
5.3.2.2 Digitizing

6.3.3 Engine and drivetrain
For standard test conditions, the adjustment and condition of the engine and the drivetrain (especially the
differentials, clutches, locks and free wheel shifts) shall correspond to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
6.3.4 Loading conditions of the vehicle
The test mass shall be between complete vehicle kerb mass (code: ISO-M06) plus driver’s mass and maximum
authorized total mass (code: ISO-M08). The instrumentation plus driver should preferably not exceed 150 kg.
The maximum authorized total mass and the maximum authorized axle loads (code: ISO-M13) shall lot be
exceeded.
Care shall be taken to generate the minimum deviation in the location of the centre of gravity and in the va ues of
the moments of inertia as compared to the loading conditions of the vehicle in normal use. The resulting wheel
loads shall be determined and recorded in the test report (annex A).
7 Test procedure
7.1 Tyre warm-up
The tyres shall be warmed up in order to achieve a tyre temperature and pressure representative of normal driving
conditions. This should be done by driving at a speed of 100 km/h over a distance of at least 10 km. However, if
this is not practicable, it may be done by driving 500 m at a lateral acceleration of 3 m/s* on the radius to be used
for the tests. The tyre pressures after warm-up should be recorded.
7.2 Brake temperature
At the beginning of the test, the braking system shall be warmed up to its operating temperature by performing
some consecutive stops.
Prior to each test run the temperature of the brake discs and drums shall be measured to ensure an initial brake
temperature of less than 100 “C.
7.3 Initial driving condition
The initial driving condition is that of the steady-state circular test (see IS0 4138) with the initial conditions relating
to the combinations of radii and lateral acceleration given in table 2. During this procedure the vehicle shall be
steered in such a manner that the reference point of the vehicle moves on the desired circular path. As it is known
that the significance of the results and the discrimination between different vehicles increase with increasing test
speed, the standard radius of this path shall be 100 m. Smaller radii ranging from 30 m to 50 m with 40 m as the
recommended lower value may be used. Additional tests using a radius of 200 m are recommended.
For vehicles with manual transmission the test shall be performed in the highest gear compatible with the
conditions of the test given in table 2. For vehicles with automatic transmission the position of the transmission
lever and the selected driving program shall be recorded in the test report (see annex A).
The position of the steering-wheel and the accelerator pedal shall be kept as constant as possible during the initial
driving condition. The initial condition is considered to be sufficiently constant, if one of the following conditions is
fulfilled:
a) for the time interval from I,3 s to 0,3 s before brake application the standard deviation of the lateral
acceleration shall not exceed 5 % of the mean value and the standard deviation of the longitudinal velocity shall
not exceed 3 % of the mean value;
b) the difference between the mean values during the time intervals I,3 s to 0,8 s and 0,8 s to 0,3 s before brake
application shall not exceed the last mentioned mean value for the lateral acceleration by 5 % and for the
longidudinal velocity by 3 %.

7.4 Performance of the braking procedure
When the initial steady-state driving condition has been reached, the steering-wheel is fixed by a mechanical
device or, alternatively, is firmly held by the driver. The accelerator pedal shall be released and brakes applied as
quickly as possible. On vehicles with manual transmission, the clutch may be disengaged immediately or at the
end of the test run; the option chosen shall be indicated in the test report (see annex A). On vehicles with
automatic transmission the shift lever remains in the initial position.
The actuation of the brake pedal or the brake light switch is considered as the moment of brake application to.
During braking the pressure in the braking system or the brake pedal force or the brake pedal travel shall be kept
as constant as possible (an adjustable stop under the brake pedal may serve) and the steering-wheel shall be fixed
until the test run is finished.
The test runs for each combination of radius and lateral acceleration defined in table 2 shall be made at increasing
levels of longitudinal acceleration until, on vehicles with conventional braking system, lock up of at least one of the
front wheels occurs (if possible). The test may be continued beyond this point resulting in further wheels locking
until lock up of all wheels has occurred, but testing under these conditions may result in rapid and large changes of
tyre characteristics, which may cause wide variations in test results. On vehicles equipped with an antilock braking
system the test shall be continued until the peak value of mean longitudinal acceleration at time t, (see 8.3.4) is
detected.
The minimum braking action shall correspond to a mean longidutinal acceleration of 2 m/s2 and shall then increase
by increments of not more than 1 m/s? if the results vary rapidly with longitudinal acceleration smaller increments
should be selected.
Tests shall be carried out for both left- and right-hand turns.
The transducer signals shall be recorded from I,3 s before brake application until the vehicle comes to a standstill.
This recording period shall be extended by the setting time of all filters used during recording
depending on the type of filter used).

8.1 General
General data shall be presented in the test report as shown in annex A. For every change in equipment of the
vehicle (e.g. load), the general data shall be documented again.

IS0 7975:1996(E)
Due to the large amount of data, the use of a computer for data processing is recommended.
At the present level of knowledge, it is not yet known which variables best represent the subjective feeling of the
driver and which variables, i.e. what characteristic values best describe the dynamic reaction of vehicles. The
following specified variables therefore represent only examples for the evaluation of results.
8.2 Time histories
For every test run, time histories of the variables listed in clause 4 shall be presented. Apart from their evaluation
purposes, the time histories serve to monitor correct test performance and functioning of the transducers.
8.3 Braking action
8.3.1 Reference point in time t0
The reference point in time t0 for the following characteristic values is the moment of brake pedal actuation or the
actuation of the brake light switch.

@ IS0 IS0 7975:1996(E)
For the correct performance of a test run, the rise time of the longitudinal acceleration shall not exceed 0,4 s. The
rise time is defined as the difference between the reference point in time to and the time tgo. Time tg0 is the time
when the longitudinal acceleration reaches 90 % of the value at 1 s after the time to. The longitudinal acceleration
at 1 s after the time to is evaluated by taking the mean value during the time interval 0,9 s and 1 ,I s and after to.
The time tf is defined as the time when the longitudinal acceleration reaches the value zero at the end of the
braking actuation.
8.3.3 Mean longitudinal acceleration - Ex
The mean longitudinal acceleration is the average value of longitudinal acceleration measured during each brake
application.
This average value may be obtained by either:
a) measuring the distance needed by the vehicle to stop from instant to, in which case the mean longitudinal
acceleration is given by:

t n
The mean longitudinal acceleration at any time tn after brake application is defined as the mean value during the
time interval lo to tn of the longitudinal acceleration (see figure 3).
8.4 Characteristic values
The characteristic values shall be determined and presented as a function of the mean longitudinal acceleration or
the mean longitudinal acceleration at time tn (see 8.3.3 and 8.3.4). The characteristic values in the steady-state
condition are defined as mean values during the time interval I,3 to 0,3 s before brake application. The other
characteristic values are determined during an observation period beginning at to and ending with the standstill of
the vehicle. The instantaneous values at tn shall be calculated by taking the mean value during the time interval t,
from -0,l s to +O,l s. For standard evaluation the actual time is tn = to + 1 s, but tn may also assume additional
values.
For each set of initial conditions, calculate and plot the characteristic values listed below. The reference values of
yaw velocity and lateral acceleration used in some of the formulas are those values which would be obtained at
if the initial radius were maintained by the vehicle. They are
