Integrated development system for the vehicle electronic control system

In this paper, a new integrated development system for vehicle electronic control system is introduced. This system consists of simulation computation, real time hardware simulation, and road test of real vehicle, integrated onto a microcomputer. Taking advantage of PC hardware and software, the whole process of development from model simulation to prototyping of a final controller is shorten. With the Visual Basic computer language, the simulation program is modularized and can be reused. Finally, an example of ABS simulation and test is presented to illustrate applicability and effectiveness of this system.
