Customer Projects:
Porsche:
Automatically Validating Gateway ECUs During Real Test Drives
Automatically validate the central Panamera gateway ECU during real test drives
On the Panamera, a total of six CAN buses and several LIN buses are connected to a central gateway ECU for internetwork data exchange. To verify routing behavior, numerous tests in different driving situations and a detailed analysis are indispensable. In addition to previous laboratory tests with stimulation of the input signals, Porsche also wanted to verify gateway data traffic during real test drives and in stress scenarios in real-time.
Daimler:
Hardware Simulation for the Challenging Unimog Tire Pressure Control System
There are many good reasons to always drive off-road utility vehicles with tire pressure adjusted for specific conditions. Developers at Daimler AG used a new type of test system for realistic tests of the next generation tire pressure control system for off-road Unimog vehicles. The test system simulates all sensors and actuators of an ECU’s environment and enables comprehensive HIL tests, including simulation of fault situations in the environment’s hardware and wiring.
Robert Bosch:
Validating Software Requirements by Efficient Airbag ECU Tests
In the automobile, airbags are among the safety-critical systems whose reliability can be a matter of life or death. Even during product development, numerous validation tests are indispensable at all development stages. A new test system at the Robert Bosch company increases efficiency in early test phases in development; it shortens test times while simultaneously increasing testing depth. It also reduces the number of test iterations for system tests on existing HIL test benches.
