ASMs for Complete Truck Electronics Tests

Swedish heavy truck and bus manufacturer Scania has set up an integration lab to perform automated testing of networked electronic control units (ECU). The integration lab is based on hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators and real-time Automotive Simulation Models (ASMs) from dSPACE. It is a virtual rebuild of a Scania bus/truck, equipped with 33 ECUs and 11 CAN networks. The lab’s architecture allows a larger number of possible vehicle configurations to be tested, making it ideal for performing regression tests.
