Virtual environment for validating critical control systems for the automotive sector in real time.
This enables development and validation times to be accelerated, as it allows engineers to test these systems in a multitude of use cases in a safe and economical environment and without the need for prototype vehicles or putting people and physical assets at risk.
Location
Description
The simulation platform consists of the following assets:
- Dynacar
- Precise vehicle dynamics modelling based on the multi-body physical principle.
- Availability of many “virtual sensors” (model outputs) such as lateral and longitudinal forces and accelerations, etc.
- Possibility of both manual and virtual driving (automated driver).
- Implementation in both PC-based modelling and simulation environments (MATLAB/Simulink) and test beds (hardware-In-the-loop systems).
- Possibility of importing trajectories from Google Maps.
- Set of unitary models of components from different automotive domains.
- vECUcar
- Possibility of validating each component by virtualising it on two levels:
- If only the control hardware of that component is available, the platform makes it possible to test the control logics directly on the hardware, as it can emulate the communication bus in such a way that the hardware receives the same information as if it were in the vehicle.
- If the physical component is also available, the platform can be included on a test bench.
- Possibility of fault injection.
- Possibility of validating each component by virtualising it on two levels:
- Tools for monitoring, recording and analysing data.
Aimed at:
- Automotive manufacturers: OEMs, TIER1 AND TIER2.
