HIL Test Bench: ABS/ESC

Hardware In the Loop Test Bench for Validation of ABS and ESC Electronic Control Units

 

 

 

 

Features

 

  • Hydraulics
    • Real physical hydraulic plant, to avoid modeling and tuning the hydraulic model
  • Linear electro-mechanical actuator
    • Advanced driver's brake action simulation, by means of a high performance linear electro-mechanical actuator, feedback force & position controlled
  • Fault Insertion Unit
    • Electrical faults: open and short circuit to GND or Vbatt
    • CAN faults: missing message, wrong signal
    • Vbatt change
  • Vehicle modeling, simulation and tuning
    • Validated vehicle model in CarSim

 


 

   

 

 

Maneuvers

 

Parameters maneuvers and test conditions
  • Vehicle
  • Road
  • Driver controls
  • Faults

 

Testable functions

  • ABS (Antilock Braking System)
  • EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution)
  • CBC (Corner Brake Control)
  • Step Steer
  • Lane Change
  • Power ON
  • Power OFF
  • TC (Traction Control): Hill, Split Hill
  • Holder etc…

 

Advantages of a test bench, respect to proving ground

  • Faults insertion: difficult to implement on a vehicle, easy on a test bench
  • Possibility to easily monitor all vehicle variables
  • Possibility to implement virtually any test (road, vehicle, maneuvers)
  • Test automation Repeatability (environment, driver controls, vehicle are controlled precisely)
  • Time / Cost saving to execute maneuvers
