Model based design of electric/hybrid powertrain with Extended V-Cycle development

The automotive world over the past 20 years has undergone unprecedented development, just think of the introduction of all the various emergency systems (ABS, TCR, etc), the electronic management of the combustion engine, and the development of advanced driver assistance systems. With the introduction of electronics in vehicles, and the increasing complexity of these and the tightening of safety standards, it became necessary to introduce a systematic procedure for approaching the project. This working methodology is based on a Model-Based approach. The project phases can essentially be divided into four stages: 1. Requirements definition and feasibility study phase; 2. Model design phase; 3. Model-in-the-loop & Software-in-the-loop; 4. Hardware-in-the-loop (RCP, VMU). In particular, it must be a systematic step-by-step procedure to achieve the functional safety standards that have been defined by ISO 26262. Once this methodology was defined, the digital filter tutorial was developed, which goes through all the stages of the V-Cycle. There is then a real application of the V-Cycle procedure on a hybrid powertrain.
