Measurement Track

Vehicle passing the measuring station
General
GIF operates a view protected measurement track for passenger cars
and HGV. The track is certified for pass-by-noise (PBN) measurements
according to DIN ISO 362. It offers options for the following tasks:
- PBN-measurements according to DIN ISO 362
- In-vehicle noise measuring
- Sound-engineering
- Analyses of powertrain NVH
- Analyses of vehicle dynamics
- Uphill starting and creeping tests.

Measurement track with hills, banked curves and a measuring station for PBN measurements
Technical Description
The measurement track is designed as an endless loop with approx. 825 m length
and 3.6 m width. The straight centre lane results in terminal loops with a 30°
curve banking. This allows a drive through vehicle speed of 70 km/h.
The certified measuring station for PBN measurements is designed for heavy-duty
truck requirements. The pavement according to DIN 10844 and the anechoic area with
a radius of 50 m allows for PBN measurements according to DIN ISO 362.
The measurement track is protected via a 5.5 m high barrier.
Thus, secret prototype tests can be performed.
