Project description
Complex experimental environment for designing electric vehicles
The X-in-the-loop (XIL) tools have efficient applications in electric vehicle (EV) design. However, the realisation of connected and shared XIL test platforms faces several challenges concerning communication and reliable methods for real-time handling of big experimental data, etc. The EU-funded XILforEV project develops a relevant experimental environment for designing EVs. The project connects test platforms from different domains, as hardware-in-the-loop, dynamometers and driving simulators, and from different geographical locations. XILforEV relies on a sound analysis of the distributed XIL and includes innovative techniques for connecting experimental labs and dedicated case studies for designing EV systems. The project contributes to Open Science as a practice example for building an easy access to state-of-the-art test equipment for wide research and engineering community.
Objective
Overall goal of the XILforEV project strives for developing a complex experimental environment for designing electric vehicles and their systems, which connects test platforms and setups from different domains and situated in different geographical locations. The domains under discussion can cover (but not limited by) hardware-in-the-loop test rigs, dynamometers, material analysers, and other variants of experimental infrastructures. Real-time running of specific test scenarios simultaneously on (i) all connected platforms/devices with (ii) the same real-time models of objects and operating environments allows exploring interdependencies between various physical processes that can be hardly identified or investigated in the process of EV development.
However, the realization of connected and shared XIL experimental environment is characterized by a number of steps to be solved, e.g. communication concepts ensuring real-time capability of connected experiments, reliable methods for real-time handling of big experimental data et al. With this in mind, a strong consortium has been built, encompassing a wide spectrum of competences. In summary, the XILforEV project brings together seven complementary participants from industry and academia, to address the new design and testing tool for electric vehicles and their systems, based on a sound and objective analysis of the distributed XIL technologies, at a level of depth never attempted by any previous research on the subject. To this purpose the XILforEV activity will include novel techniques for connecting experimental labs and dedicated case studies for designing EV motion control and EV fail-safe control. In addition, considering the importance of virtual models in XIL procedures and the availability of different test benches interconnected, the proposal also addresses the development of high-confidence, real-time capable models with automatic validation using experimental data.
