Vehicle-in-the-Loop Successfully Implemented in a Series Project

At Continental Engineering Services (CES), we're proud to announce the successful development and implementation of our Vehicle-in-the-Loop (ViL) Test System for Iveco's 2024 model year vehicles. This system played a pivotal role in advancing, validating, and fine-tuning key Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including front and rear safety functions and cruising features.

What is Vehicle-in-the-Loop (ViL)?

• Imagine testing a real vehicle on a physical track, but surrounded by a dynamic world of virtual traffic and infrastructure.
• ViL bridges the gap between simulation and real-world testing, offering a safe, repeatable, and highly flexible environment for assessing ADAS and automated driving systems.
• The system integrates hardware and software modules directly into the physical prototype, customized to fit unique customer needs and project goals.

Why Vehicle-in-the-Loop?

• Unlock Complex Scenarios: Test edge-case situations that are nearly impossible to replicate in real traffic.
• Bridge the Gap: Support seamless correlation between bench and vehicle-level testing.
• Real-World Validation: Validate features in real-time vehicle environments while enabling subjective feedback.
• Enhanced Coverage: Improve test penetration and scenario diversity.
• Aligned with Standards: Enable virtual assessments aligned with NCAP and GSR requirements.
• Best of Both Worlds: Combine the reliability of real-world testing with the precision of simulations.

How Does the Project Benefit from ViL?

• Efficiency Gains: Faster test setup and reduced execution time.
• Cost-Effective: Significant savings of around 20-30%.
• Flexibility in Testing: Quick adjustments for evolving requirements.
• Consistency & Accuracy: Enhanced test repeatability and robustness.
• Accelerated Development: Early integration of real components into the system.
• Risk Reduction: Minimize risks with simulation-based insights.

Why Choose CES for ViL?

• End-to-End Expertise: From concept and development to release and ongoing maintenance.
• Scalable Architecture: Modular ViL design adaptable across platforms.
• Proven Track Record: Over a decade of successful ViL implementations.
