Abstract

At present, there are more researches on the automatic driving technology of unmanned vehicles. It needs a main control unit, which enables the vehicle to automatically drive. The main control unit supports the access of various sensors and controllers. It can process data of each device and control the movement state of vehicles. Therefore, the main control unit needs to be tested repeatedly to ensure its functionality and stability. Based on Prescan simulation software and Matlab/Simulink software, this paper studies a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test system for testing the main control unit of unmanned vehicles according to the communication protocol and communication method of the real sensor and controller hardware devices. At the same time, this paper studies a simulation method of the main control unit, which can effectively verify the function of the test system and conduct the feasibility test of the communication protocol and communication method used.
