Abstract

A novel method of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) cosimulation is proposed to improve the efficiency of research and development of the vehicle independent suspension (VIS) system by using both Matlab and Adams software. Primarily, the interfaces, which have inputs and outputs, are created after the mechanic system model of the VIS system was built in Adams software. Secondly, the control model in Simulink is established with system functions calling underlying drivers of different data acquisition (DAQ) card and blocks of Matlab/Simulink, to achieve communication among DAQ card, Simulink environment and Adams software. Finally, the HIL co-simulation system of the VIS is successfully implemented and its entire process is controlled via graphical user interface (GUI) of Matlab software. Experimental results show that the HIL co-simulation system of VIS has preferable dynamic characteristics and the feedback control circuit functions correctly.
