Design of Hardware-in-the-loop Model for Electric Vehicles

Abstract

Recently, researches on electric vehicle are focused on motion control and autonomous control. These works require a model that represent a real vehicle as close as possible. We propose in this paper a hardware-in-the-loop model of electric vehicles that includes driving system and vehicle model using dSPACE-DS1103 control card as the hardware interface. The model is validated in Matlab/Simulink environment by implementing various test cases. Result of this paper can be a useful tool for electric vehicle researches.
