Electronic control systems
Together with the Centro Ricerche Fiat, Elasis developed a driveability simulation method that allows for an evaluation of a vehicle’s handling performance during the manoeuvres called for by Fiat test standards. Hardware-In-the-Loop systems were developed together with automated procedures for testing the self-diagnostics software used in electronic engine management, ABS and ESP system control units. For Magneti Marelli Electronic Systems, Elasis validated the software for a number of body computers. For the Ferrari Manufacturing Division (Gestione Industriale), Elasis updated the Hardware-In-the-Loop vehicle dynamics simulator used to test the electronic control unit for the Delphi Magneride active suspension system based on innovative dampening fluids. Elasis also provided support in developing the control system for the new dual clutch transmission. For CNH, the centre continued in 2007 to provide support in validating the control software for the CVT transmission featured on the Cobra tractor, and began development of a simulator for CNH Construction Equipment which will be used to validate the electro-hydraulic drive control system on the equipment maker’s Grader vehicle.
