Systematic Approach in V-Model Development Cycle for an Automotive Embedded Control System

This paper focus, on the various stages involved in the development of automotive embedded control system. Various V-models (SIL, MIL, and HIL) are compared with the proposed V model for hydraulic Antilock Braking System. The various tools available at different levels of the V model development phase have been analyzed. Model in loop `discussed in detail and further steps involved in the HIL simulation process such as program design, module design, coding and testing phases are examined. The control system development is done using a development platform having a targetidentical rapid control prototyping (RCP) system and can also be integrated with hardware-inthe loop simulation setup. This RCP system is designed very similarly to the real production controller with the help of a customized target package and hardware system.
