Background

Test Procedure ECE-R 13-H

  • Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems have

proven to be very effective in reducing accidents and fatalities

  • European Commission decided that all new vehicles

have to be equipped with a functional ESC

  • ECE-R 13-H specifies the basic requirements of an

ESC and how this can be tested and certified

  • ECE-R 13-H currently does not evaluate the control

quality of the ES C

ECE13H Homologation through Simulation

When one physical vehicle has been tested according to ECE-R 13-H, other vehicle variants or versions based on the same vehicle type may be subsequently homologated through simulation.

Background

Use of CAE in Homologation Process ECE-R 13-H

Process to be applied:

  • Test a Target Vehicle according to ECE-R 13-H Sine-with-Dwell test
  • Generate a vehicle simulation model of the target vehicle and correlate it

to an acceptable level of accuracy requested by Type Approval Agency

  • Simulate critical variants and versions to identify worst case examples
  • Present results to obtain homologation for all configurations

Test Procedure

  • Pre-Test: A is the steering wheel angle at ay = 0.3g
  • Vehicle coasting in high gear at 80 ± 2 km/h
  • Steering amplitude for the initial run is 1.5 A
  • In each series of test runs the steering amplitude is

increased from run to run by 0.5 A

  • Max. steering amplitude ~ 270 deg

Conclusions

  • Pilot project between Opel and IDIADA to achieve CAE-based

homologation of an ESC-system according to E CE-R 13-H

  • Setup of a high-quality simulation environment (HiL) is possible,

but requires advanced integration solutions and expertise

  • Validation of the simulation environment by extensive static and

dynamic measurements proves good correlation

  • Simulation results of Sine-with-Dwell

maneuver are very close to real measurements

  • Quality of simulation allows the

homologation of ES C systems

  • Process from testing to simulation

to homologation is well understood and documented

  • Approach allows OEMs to significantly reduce the number of

real tests during the ES C certification process
