Models for ECU testing

Real-Time Models
For hardware-in-the-loop simulation, you need real-time models to simulate the real environment. The models represent the behavior of the system that a real controller is to be used with. Together, model and simulator form an identical representation of a real object. Suitably parameterized and configured, the model can simulate any of the states that the represented object may have.

The Automotive Simulation Models (ASM) are open Simulink^® models for the real-time simulation of key automotive systems such as engines and vehicle dynamics plus extensions such as brake hydraulics, turbocharger, electrical system, exhaust system, traffic and trailer. A virtual vehicle can be created by combining models. The ASMs are typically used on a dSPACE Simulator for hardware-in-the-loop testing of electronic control units (ECUs) or during the design phase of controller algorithms for early validation by offline simulation.
