Development of integrated hardware-in-the-loop (hil) test bench anti-lock brake system (abs) instrument

Abstract

Carrying out an Antilock Brake System (ABS) testing performance for ECU-ABS software development validation in real-time by an on-road test drive is challenging. Besides, it requires more time, cost, and effort. This research aims to develop a test bench device for ABS testing performance based on hardware in the loop (HIL). HIL-based ECU-ABS testing performance offers an approach that improves the validation process, and at the same time providing potential cost, time, and energy savings. To achieve this goal, this device is created through experimental development methods and a prototype is built consisting of input/output devices that can be set out and manipulated due to the desired real braking conditions. The result of the study is an ABS test performance device equipped with a data acquisition system (DAQ) hence the parameters which are working during the test can be read, harvested, and further analyzed for the development and improvement of the ABS. The design and prototyping process employ several software (i.e. MatLab, Proteus, Ansys, C++ Compiler, and Visual Basic), hardware (asynchrony motor, speed sensors, hydraulic actuator, PCI-Card LabView, PC, LCD monitor, keyboard, printer), frame structure and flywheel, calibration utility and test space that meets NASVA standards.
