Abstract:

Control systems of different vehicles such as helicopters, cars and boats have a lot in common. Thus, the main goal of this paper is to enable construction of a universal platform providing an opportunity of making such a system in a simplified and fast way. The designed platform operates in three different modes (SIL, MIX and HIL). The platform enables switching between different modes of operation without any changes implemented in a software layer. An embedded controller is able to schedule tasks without any delays, which involves utilization of a real-time operating system. Additionally, it is possible to remotely control and monitor the vehicle during its normal operation.
