Example of Trucks Hybrid Specific Electronic Function Verification using Hardware In the Loop, HIL, Simulation Tool

In this paper, we will focus on a systematic reasoning to obtain a suited test bench for covering the verification of a complete set of embedded electronics functional specification of a hybrid powertrain. The HIL (Hardware In the Loop) test bench enables the control unit environment in real time to be simulated and their closed loop behavior in wished situations to be studied. Based on control unit and system specifications, the method describes how to define the HIL platform in terms of hardware interface and internal behavior (models).
