This presentation includes a better and faster method to measure magnetic property for analysis of EV/HEV charging. It defines the method of computation of magnetic properties from in-circuit voltage and current which give real world results. This talk illustrates how hysteresis loss can be computed from the BH curve.​

Catching an error early during vehicle software development is desirable. Wrong paths are avoided, resources are conserved and the overall quality level is enhanced. Testing should be done in an iterative loop with every change that is submitted while feedback is provided to the development and test engineers immediately. Complex systems require everything to work together flawlessly or risk total system failure. We will share ideas to design standardized, automated workflows for global teams.

Obtaining high-accuracy positioning in poor GNSS environments has historically been an expensive challenge, requiring high-spec IMUs that fall under export controls. Using LiDAR as a navigation input introduces an error model unlike traditional GNSS-aided INSs, due to its performance when used for odometry and feature recognition in built up areas. When this data in integrated into an effective sensor fusion model, it leads to more usable test data, in more environments, more of the time.

Hybrid System Response Convergence (HSRC) is an iterative simulation process that combines physical and virtual components to produce a coupled, full-vehicle laboratory durability test. HSRC enables full vehicle tests without requiring a road load data acquisition (RLDA) program. HSRC can speed development and reduce costs by combining the flexibility of analytical road loads with the confidence of physical testing. Full-vehicle HSRC is fully integrated into MTS’ latest RPC Connect software.

Vehicle development cycles are shrinking, engineers must find ways to keep up. Desktop driving simulators enable data validation and understanding of results. By providing a repeatable and controlled evaluation environment engineers can conduct subjective evaluations under consistent conditions. Simulators are a must have asset to anyone who must understand, evaluate, and optimize the NVH characteristics of vehicles, ultimately leading to improved vehicle design and customer satisfaction.

Different applications in R&D, Laboratory, Production and EOL testing require optimized fieldbus interfaces. Different solutions for these applications like EtherCAT or XCP oE are presented and their pros and cons are compared. Finally an example integration of a modern Power Analyzer into an Automation System is explained in some more details. This includes full setup of the Power Analyzer, acquisition control and result transfer with low latency

Driver Assistance Systems (DAS) enhance road safety by aiding accident avoidance. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) simulate scenarios to optimize DAS. They create lifelike driving environments for testing, evaluating responses, enabling diverse scenarios, repeatable tests, risk-free simulations, accelerated development, cost efficiency, and real-time customization. AR and VR improve DAS safety, reducing reliance on resource-intensive field tests, fostering safer vehicles.

A new implementation method for hardware-in-the-loop simulation system is introduced for automotive electronic chassis test, which utilizes the automotive electronics toolchain - TSMaster. With TSMaster's extensive hardware support capabilities, all kinds of test instruments and devices in the market can be integrated into the TSMaster software platform. With TSMaster's applets and toolboxes architecture, automotive dynamics engines like CarSim can be integrated into the testing environment.
