Agenda


3

ESP homologation by simulation – background

• In Europe:Mandatory introduction of ESP systems for passenger cars and for trucks or buses via ECE-R13 and ECE-R13H

• ECE-R13 and –R13H allow homologation by simulation –either by HiL test stands or by SiL simulation

• Type approval by simulation at Daimler Trucks since 2011 –Simulation tool EBSim (Simpack models with SiL codes)

• Various driving maneuvers without precise criteria for trucks, maneuver “sine with dwell” for passenger cars, includingpass/fail criteria

• For NAFTA region:Mandatory introduction of ESP systems for passenger carsvia FMVSS 126, maneuver “sine with dwell”, self-certification (no type approval by authorities)

Validation of van vehicle dynamics using the “MasterCar”


• Step 1:Proof of tire characteristics (MFTYRE)

• Step 2:Measurement of 4 vehicle variants

• Step 3:Validation of steady state driving behavior

• Step 3:Validation of transient driving behavior

• Step 4:Validation of sine with dwell with ESC interventionsComparison Measurement with ESC / Simulationwith ESC / Simulation without ESC,Vehicle yaw velocity as a response to 200°steering wheel amplitude

The simulation covers a wide range of vehicle variants• Examples for the vehicle variety (Sprinter for NAFTA market):

• 2 GVW variants, 2 wheelbases, 2 heights, 2 versions of rear overhang, bus or goods transport, 4 suspension variants, 3 tire variants approx. 120 possible variations

• Additional: variation of loading conditions (laden/unladen, c.o.g position)

Results of the survey, robustness

• All simulated vehicle variants have fulfilled the evaluation criteria

• Step-by-step identification of worst case vehicle variants

• Example result:Comparison between ESP8 and ESP9 code for one vehicle variant

• Daimler and Bosch have successfully estab-lished an exchange platform for the simulation of van vehicle dynamics with active systems.

• The SiL platform is used for type approval investigations of ESP system as well as for investigations of a large amount of vehiclevariants and for robustness investigations.

• In future, this SiL process will also be used for other driver assistance systems, furthermoreimplementing additionally the tools IPG Test-Manager and QTronic TestWeaver.
