Abstract:
X-in-the-loop (XIL) technologies are receiving increased attention in modern automotive
development processes. In particular, collaborative experiments, such as XIL tools, have ef cient applications
in the design of multi-actuated, electric, and automated vehicles. The presented paper introduces
results of such a collaborative study for XIL, which focused on the feasibility of coordinated real-time
simulations for the control of vehicle dynamics systems. The outcomes are based on extensive co-simulation
tests performed using remote connections among different geographical locations; the connections were
between Germany, on one side, and USA, South Africa, and The Netherlands, from the other side. The
performed study allowed formulating requirements for further shared and distributed XIL-experiments for
functional validation of automotive control systems.
