▲ dSPACE's Battery Management System (BMS) HIL Simulator



"We will focus on the eco-friendly vehicle sector."
Check vehicle performance and defects with a simulator

HIL (Hardware-in-the-loop) simulation company dspace is moving to expand its share of the domestic HIL market in earnest.

dSPACE Korea, which established a Korean branch last year, announced on the 11th that it will accelerate the expansion of its market share in the eco-friendly vehicle sector while maintaining the top position in the HIL market share in the autonomous driving and ADAS sectors.

HIL simulation is a technology that simulates a virtual vehicle environment to verify various functions. Instead of building a prototype identical to an actual vehicle for testing, it replaces part or the entire vehicle with a simulator, allowing vehicle performance and defect testing under conditions identical to actual driving conditions.

In particular, HIL simulation can verify the functions and test the limits of electronic control units (ECUs) that have been completed through the controller modeling, prototyping, code generation, and optimization stages in the automotive software (SW) development stage called 'V-Cycle'.

dSPACE Korea is confident that HIL simulation will play a major role in the rapid rise of eco-friendly vehicles into the mainstream. As the electric and hydrogen vehicle markets continue to grow, HIL simulation is expected to have positive effects in the verification process of eco-friendly vehicles such as batteries, powertrains, and chargers, including reducing testing costs, ensuring safety, and shortening development periods.

Recently, dSPACE Korea has been stepping on the accelerator to become an eco-friendly company by dispatching additional specialized technical personnel to its domestic branch to immediately supply customers with verification solutions for various controllers (△BMS △FCU DC/DC converter △MCU △OBC) in the eco-friendly vehicle field.

Son Tae-young, Director of dSPACE Korea, said, “In line with the government’s policy to foster the future eco-friendly smart car industry, the market share of the three domestic battery companies is increasing, and the demand for verification of BMS controllers is also steadily increasing.” He added, “We expect to secure long-term growth potential through dSPACE’s toolchain and further contribute to the development of the E-Mobility field.”
