Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop an innovative hardware-in-the-loop simulator for the purpose of motorcycle power train rapid controller prototyping. Proposed control algorithms can be validated using the developed setup. Such an in-lab validation saves time and development cost and thus is preferable during power train controller development process. The developed simulator includes an engine, a transmission, and a rear wheel from a real motorcycle. A powder brake is rigidly coupled to the rear wheel for road loading generation. A central computer is used to control the operation of the system and the measurement of system dynamics variables. An xPC system is also integrated in the system to provide the feasibility of power train control algorithm rapid prototyping. Comparison between field tests and simulation results show that the simulator can be used to evaluate the performance of different control algorithms for controller rapid prototyping in the laboratory. An example of power train control algorithm development featuring engine fuel injection control using the above rapid prototyping setup is also described.
