ESC-in-the-Loop
Bring safe ESC systems to the market
Safety is the highest priority when driving a vehicle. Various advanced driver assistance systems, such as electronic stability control (ESC), increase safety. This system attempts to prevent the vehicle from skidding by braking individual wheels in a targeted manner, while at the same time ensuring control of the vehicle. Since November 2014, it is mandatory within the EU for newly registered M1 cars and N1 trucks to be equipped with ESC. The ESC-in-the-Loop test system is used to test the functionality of this driver assistance system using virtual test driving on the test bench.
Who benefits from ESC-in-the-Loop?
- From OEMs to suppliers, development engineers for brakes can use our test system individually
- Chassis, brake, or function developers as well as users involved in the development of driver assistance systems and automated driving functions
What is ESC-in-the-Loop?
ESC:
- Stands for electronic stability control
in-the-Loop:
- Refers to both open-loop and closed-loop test procedures for the development and validation of ESC systems
- ESC-in-the-Loop enables testing and validation of control units and complete ESC systems
- Tests are carried out using virtual test driving on the test bench
How can ESC-in-the-Loop be used?
- Testing of real ESC systems focusing on the ECU without the hydraulic components in open- and closed-loop maneuvers
- Validation of ESC functions up to the dynamic stability limit
- Component-based testing of functions such as anti-lock braking system (ABS), traction control system (TCS), electronic brake distribution (EBD), hill start assist and more
- Fail-safe tests and functional tests in accordance with ISO 26262
- Additional extension available to test the electronic parking brake (EPB) included as plug-in test box (or unit)
