Deployment of full vehicle simulator for electrical control system validation

摘要

Development and testing of automotive embedded control systems traditionally depended on the availability of prototype vehicles. Automotive manufactures adopted model based approaches in order to produce quality products faster. Thus, the need of more integrated testing using virtual environment in an automated manner becomes a vital element of product development. The full vehicle simulator aims to provide a fully integrated environment for verification and validation of the embedded automotive software to avoid the dependency of the prototype vehicles. The execution of different automated test scenarios aims to increase the development of the product faster without compromising robustness and quality. This paper deals with both the development of full vehicle simulator and the concept of the automated modelled test cases.
