ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for automatically restraining a vehicle on a vehicle test stand having at least one pair of rollers rotatably mounted to a frame comprises a restraining device movably mounted relative to the test stand frame. A motor is drivably connected to the restraining device for, when actuated, moving the restraining device relative to the frame. An actuating device provides a first signal when it is desired to move the restraining device into an operative restraining position and a second signal when it is desired to move the restraining device out of the operative restraining position. A controller is connected to the motor and to the actuating device for controlling energization of the motor in response to the actuating device to move the restraining device automatically into or out of the operative restraining position.
