“…Woodrooffe et al (2009) combined a study of the same database with hardwarein-the-loop simulation and other methods, and were thus able to predict a prevention of around 4,700 out of an ESC-targeted annual U.S. crash population of around 11,000 (just over the 40% prevention ratio reported for passenger cars by Høye, 2011). Furthermore, tests with predetermined manoeuvres, specified in terms of exact control inputs or vehicle paths, have been carried out to provide verification of stability improvements of truck ESC, both in real vehicles driven by test drivers or steering robots (Laine et al, 2008) and in computer simulation (Kharrazi and Thomson, 2008;McNaull et al, 2010).…”

“…The trucks were tested at VRTC in East Liberty, Ohio, and consisted of a Volvo tractor and a Fruehauf van trailer. A TruckSim model that had already been validated with experimental data was provided (8,9). The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (known as VTTI) and VRTC both simulated one truck with two loading configurations.…”

This research estimated the safety benefits of electronic stability control systems for tractor–semitrailers by using hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulation. The HiL system used in this study consisted of a pneumatic tractor–semitrailer braking system and a truck simulation engine, TruckSim. Additionally, the Bendix electronic stability control system was integrated with the HiL system for the evaluation. The study evaluated the performance of the stability control system by using the HiL platform for a portion of the rollover and loss-of-control crashes selected from the database of the Large Truck Crash Causation Study. Subsequently, the evaluated performance was combined with the effectiveness rated by the expert panel at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute to calculate the total crash prevention ratios. Finally, this study estimated crash reductions and cost benefits. It provides lessons learned to researchers and practitioners through the course of evaluation procedures.

The research presented developed a hardware-in-the-loop system for testing in-truck safety technology. The paper describes the hardware and software components that were required to develop the system, how the various components were integrated, and some initial validation tests of the system. Specifically, the paper describes how the hardware-in-the-loop system interacted with the TruckSim simulator to produce realistic results. The models used for the validation of the system are detailed; a demonstration of the system validity follows. The absolute and relative errors between the TruckSim simulation results and the hardware-in-the-loop simulation were demonstrated by a comparison of the temporal variation in velocity and the truck roll angle. The study demonstrated the benefits of an accurate hardware-in-the-loop system for testing future in-vehicle safety systems.
