Valeo Technical Centre: This state-of-the-art infrastructure with over 1,000 workstations will host Hardware-in-the Loop (HIL)/ Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) farms and a cybersecurity test lab. It will consolidate Valeo’s Software and Systems workforce in Chennai while enabling a vibrant workplace that attracts top talent and fosters collaboration, creativity, and excellence, the company said.
Rio Rancho, N.M. and South Windsor, Conn. Alta Data Technologies and Bloomy Controls have announced that the two companies joined to open Bloomy’s hardware in-the-loop (HIL) Technology Evolution Center (TEC), the world’s first customer-accessible proving ground for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) HIL test technologies using Alta’s latest MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 interfaces.
This paper proposes a novel decoupling vibration control method for the semi-active electrically interconnected suspension (EIS) and develops a mechanical hardware-in-the-loop (mHIL) test platform to verify the effectiveness of the method. Firstly, according to the decoupling characteristic of the interconnected electrical network, the half-car model is divided into vertical and roll ones, and their frequency response could show the capability of EIS on vibration control. Then, two H∞ state feedback controllers are designed based on the decoupled model to acquire the ideal force and torque for vertical and roll vibration control; the adjustment logics of the resistance control unit are proposed to track the ideal force and torque. Finally, the mHIL experiment platform is designed to validate the decoupling vibration control performance of the EIS system. In the experiment, the EIS can significantly improve the vehicle suspension's overall performance under sinusoidal and bump ro
