Description
Summary:Conducting laboratory and field testing is a classic approach to the development and certification of vehicles and their automotive components. These processes are costly and time-consuming. The serial installation of mechatronic systems in the car forced software and electronic systems engineers to master a new approach to testing and development – “physical” simulation (Hardware-in-the-loop). The aim of the research in this article is to develop, implement and validate a “physical” simulation method for evaluating the performance of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems. In this research, an ESC HIL-testbench, a mathematical model of the vehicle curvilinear movement in Adams Car, and a method for converting it into a Simulink-model, that allows generating a C-code, were developed and implemented. To assess the adequacy and correctness of the “physical” simulation, full-scale dynamic manoeuvres were carried out on the object of research – the Gazelle Next vehicle with ESC-system “Bosch ESP 9.1”. In this article, the results of road tests and simulations, as well as an assessment of their convergence, are presented in tabular and graphical forms. The maximum discrepancy was 19% with the maximum allowable one up to 25% in accordance with the standard ISO 19635.
