With the advancement of current Automated Driving and ADAS features, the driver and passengers have more freedom to enjoy the interior comfort of a vehicle. Seating is one of the most important elements that can provide extra safety, comfort, and entertainment to the riders. The development of the seat control becomes more and more crucial for the recent years in providing different features. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing is part of automotive V-design which is commonly used in automotive industries for the development of Electronic Control Unit (ECU). HIL test platform provides the capacity to test the ECU in a controlled environment even with scenarios that would be too dangerous or impractical to test on real situation, also the ECU can be tested even before the actual plant is built. This paper presents a HIL test platform for the validation of a power seat ECU.
