Steering-in-the-Loop Lite
Compact test system to test and validate complete steering systems
Steering-in-the-Loop Lite is a compact solution that enables testing of complete steering systems including the steering wheel, steering column and steering rack along with the EPS ECU. This test system is specially designed for functional and system integration tests to validate the vehicle’s ADAS and AV functions along with the real steering system. Furthermore, it can be extended to test steer-by-wire systems without the need for a steering wheel actuator.
Who benefits from
Steering-in-the-Loop Lite?
- OEMs can validate the overall system control architectures
