A Hardware-in-the-Loop Platform for a Typical Construction Machinery Real-Time Test

Abstract:

In order to supply a reliable and low-cost method for construction machinery real-time test, take a hydraulic excavator for example. Especially for testing controllers and evaluating the performance of strategies, a hardware-in-the loop platform has been developed based on the xPC real-time system. The hardware-in-the-loop system, including dynamic model of the excavator and an 3D real-time display subsystem, is presented in this paper. The simulation results are also described at the end of the paper.
