In recent years, driving safety systems such as Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS) can be found more and more as standard components in 2-wheeler applications. As these safety critical systems are produced in large numbers, it is of highest interest to keep production and development cost at a minimum on one hand and provide best reliability of the system on the other. In order to attain these cost and quality objectives, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) technology provides excellent opportunities for test and validation. This paper presents a HIL testing framework for 2-wheeler ABS systems which is optimized in terms of cost and usability for test engineers. The setup comprises an ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for 2-wheelers, a single PC ETAS LABCAR system with hardware I/O boards and LABCAR Operator as software package for real time configuration and control of the entire system. Finally, a simulated vehicle model was integrated to the HIL system to perform test runs.
