A Framework for Real Time Hardware in the Loop Simulation
Keywords:
Hardware in Loop (HIL), Embedded Systems, Simulation, MATLAB/SIMULINK, dSPACE, ECU.Abstract
Hardware in Loop Simulation is a technique which is increasingly used in automotive industry for testing and development of complex real time embedded systems. Not only validation of correct behaviour when the entire electric system is fault free must be performed, but also validation during failure. How shall the electrical system behave with sensor broken or some other fault present? Fail-safe is a term used to describe that something is safe during failure. To maintain a failsafe vehicle extensive testing has to be done to verify that functionality is never becoming dangerous.
