Private ECUs: Unhappy triad

Unhappy triad in limb reconstruction: Management by Ilizarov method

AIM To evaluate the results of the Ilizarov method in management of cases with bone loss, soft tissue loss and infection. METHODS Twenty eight patients with severe leg trauma complicated by bone loss, soft tissue loss and infection were managed by distraction osteogenesis in our institution. After radical debridement of all the infected and dead tissues the Ilizarov frame was applied, cortico...

Chip simulation of automotive ECUs

Modern ECUs contain ten thousands of engine parameters that need to be tuned. Calibration of all these parameters is time consuming and complex. Simulation on a PC could help to automate and speed up the calibration process, in particular if simulation runs much faster (e. g. 20 times) than real-time. However, engine calibration is typically performed by an OEM, while the ECU code is owned by t...

Virtual ECUs for Developing Automotive Transmission Software

For a long time now, IAV has used dSPACE-HiL systems and test vehicles for this purpose, as complex open-loop and closed-loop control features can only be verified with the help of a controlled system or model thereof with regard to system characteristics, going beyond the module test capabilities. However, both approaches only offer limited possibilities for troubleshooting and analysis, espec...

Simulation of Networked ECUs for Drivability Calibration

Drivability calibration of a vehicle’s engine and transmission controller largely defines the unique character of the vehicle. Today, calibration is mostly performed on the road and on test rigs. Recent advances regarding virtualisation of ECUs made it possible to establish Software-in-the-Loop simulation as a development tool as well. To this end, Daimler AG and QTronic GmbH jointly conducted ...
