/ 109 AUTOMATION AND CONTROL SOFTWARE FOR VEHICLE TESTBEDS The rapidly increasing complexity of present-day and future vehicle systems, along with more and more development and testing demand, requires intelligent automation of test procedures. AVL PUMA Open Vehicle Testing extends the basic functionality of VECON 2016 with the typical and proven functions of AVL PUMA Open™. Besides the testbed automation, this enables the automation of the vehicle as well. APPROACH AVL PUMA Open Vehicle Testing is different from other vehicle testing and automation systems because of its extended control modes, based on the integrated vehicle control (e.g. via gas pedal actuator, robot actuator, e-gas). The optional driver model “Self-learning Stähle Driver” for AVL PUMA Open Vehicle Testing provides a realistic simulation of the driving behavior in driving cycles. The operator is able to automate test procedures by means of the known automatic functions BSQ/SSQ. APPLICATION The demand for realistic tests is steadily growing. The testing effort for the calibration validation development increased by this is efficiently supported by AVL PUMA Open Vehicle Testing. The integrated vehicle control for driverless driving makes safe and continuous long-term tests under difficult environmental conditions possible. The parameterization is done quickly and easily in a system. Direct access to the data and the synchronous data acquisition ensures an efficient evaluation. Furthermore, other measuring devices and operation panels can be integrated flexibly. BENEFITS AT A GLANCE • Workflow-oriented and structured operation concept for efficient operation • Short training times thanks to one uniform user interface for all integrated components in the software • Customer specific extendable user interface • Automation of complete vehicle tests (chassis dynamometer incl. uding unit under test based on BSQ/SSQ and integrated robot driver) • Optional integrated self-learning Stähle driver for driverless vehicle testing • Easy import of real road profiles and environmental conditions allow real-life testing on the vehicle testbed • Consistency over several test environments (e.g. global unit parameter set) AVL PUMA Open Vehicle Testing AVL PUMA Open Vehicle Testing executes optimally all specific operation and control tasks on the vehicle testbeds
