MicroAutoBox III

Compact and robust in-vehicle prototyping system

The MicroAutoBox III is the next generation of the established dSPACE MicroAutoBox, a real-time system for performing fast, in-vehicle function prototyping. 

  • High computation power with quad-core ARM® processor
  • Comprehensive bus and network support, including CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, and (automotive) Ethernet
  • Functional safety monitoring features1)

MicroAutoBox III - Buses and Networks

Application Areas

The powerful system can be added to or replace an electronic control unit (ECU), and lets you experience and test control functionalities in a real environment. MicroAutoBox III is ideal for many different rapid control prototyping (RCP) applications from autonomous driving to zero emissions either as a single demonstrator or for equipping entire test fleets. Examples of application fields are:

  • E-mobility, electrification, and powertrain control
  • Assisted, highly automated, and autonomous driving
  • Chassis, body, and vehicle dynamics control
  • Supervisory and domain control
  • Bus/network gateway and monitoring
  • Noise, vibration, position, and motion control

Key Benefits

The MicroAutoBox III uniquely combines high performance, comprehensive automotive I/O including bus and network support, and an extremely compact and robust design – all for a favorable price. The comprehensive software environment lets you configure, program, and operate the system easily and with minimum effort.

Hardware Variants

The MicroAutoBox III is available in different variants, which provide different numbers of analog or digital I/O channels, advanced bus and network interfaces, or even a user-programable FPGA for very fast control loops as required in e-mobility applications. Furthermore, there are dedicated extensions, e.g., a MicroAutoBox III Embedded PC for ADAS/ AD applications or an I/O module for engine control. All this makes the MicroAutoBox III a powerful and flexible development system for nearly all mechatronic in-vehicle applications, from autonomous driving to zero emissions.

The MicroAutoBox III can also be combined with the new AUTERA hardware, offering a perfect system combination for data logging and prototyping applications in the field of autonomous driving.
