A signal hardware-in-the-loop model for electric vehicles

Abstract

Recently, researches on electric vehicle are focused on motion control and state estimation. These works require a model that imitate a real vehicle as close as possible. We propose in this paper a signal hardware-in-the-loop model of electric vehicles that includes driving system and vehicle model running in real-time in dSPACE-DS1103 control card. All the required states of the electric vehicle are monitored in Matlab/Simulink environment. The model is validated by implementing representative test cases. Results of this paper can be a useful tool for further electric vehicle researches.
