Vehicle Dynamics Controller Development

More elaborate and efficient vehicle dynamics controllers (VDCs) like anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability programs (ESP), and traction control systems (TCS) are major features of modern passenger cars. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test benches are indispensable for their timely development and validation. This article describes key software and hardware components that dSPACE offers for VDC testing.
