Real-Time HIL Test Benches: Virtual Plant Modeling and Closed-Loop Sensor/Actuator Emulation
Designing high-performance HIL test systems that simulate real vehicle dynamics in real-time to validate ECU control algorithms without physical prototypes.
Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) ECU Conformance & Closed-Loop Functional Testing
Accelerating ECU verification through high-fidelity Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) closed-loop simulation, virtual sensor emulation, and automated ASAM XIL test execution.
Engineering Specifications
Restbus Simulation: Synthesizing Full Vehicle Communication Networks for Isolated ECU Testing
Generating all surrounding vehicle network traffic to simulate absent ECUs, ensuring that the Device Under Test (DUT) receives valid cyclic messages.
Automated Regression Suites: High-Frequency CAN/Ethernet MDF4 Logging and Automated Pass/Fail Verdicts
Executing continuous automated regression suites overnight, logging gigabytes of high-resolution network traces, and generating automated compliance reports.
