High Performance Computer Based Software Defined Vehicle Hardware in the Loop Testing

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Recent years have seen a strong move towards Software Defined Vehicles (SDV) concept as it is seen as an enabler for advancing the mobility by integrating complex technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Connected Autonomous Driving (CAD) into the vehicle. However, this comes with fundamental changes to the vehicle’s Electrical/Electronic (EE) architecture which require novel testing approaches. This paper presents FEV’s SDV Hardware-In- The-Loop (HIL) test setup which focuses on testing the developed HPC-based software. The functionality of the SDV HIL test setup is demonstrated by testing the software of multiple technologies within the High Performance Computer (HPC) environment like ADAS and teleoperation virtual control units with Over-the-air (OTA) up- dates capability. Test results show the effectiveness of utilizing FEV’s HIL setup in developing and validating the software of SDV platforms.</div></div>
