A HARDWARE-IN-THE-LOOP SIMULATOR BASED ON REAL SKODA SUPERB VEHICLE AND RT-LAB/CARSIM

Abstract

This paper describes the design and realization of a hardware-in-the-loop simulator made from a real Skoda Superb vehicle. A combination of RT-LAB and CarSim software is used for real-time control and for handling the sensoric subsystems. The simulator provides almost realistic testing of driving cycles with on-line visualization. This unique device can be used in various fields of research.
