This paper presents a novel design of a real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) missile TV guidance system simulation platform, which consists of a development computer, a target computer, a turntable, a control cabin, and a joystick. The guidance system simulation model is created on the development computer by Simulink (R) and then downloaded to the target computer. Afterwards, Simulink Real-Time (TM) runs the model in real-time. Meanwhile, the target computer uploads the real-time simulation data back to the development computer. The hardware in the simulationloop is TV camera, encoders, control cabin, servomotors, and target simulator. In terms of hardware and software, the system has been simplified compared with the existing works. The volume of the turntable integrating the target simulator and the seeker simulator is about 0.036 cubic meters compared to the original 8 cubic meters, so it has a compact structure. The platform can perform the closed-loop control, so the simulation has high precision. Taking the TV guidance simulation as an example, in the case of target maneuvering, the final miss distance of the TV guidance missile is 0.11812 m, while the miss distance of the original systemis 13m. The trajectories obtained from the HIL and mathematical simulations substantially coincide. So the simulation results show that the proposed HIL simulation platform is effective.

According to NHTSA's 2011 Traffic Safety Facts [1], passenger vehicle occupant fatalities continued the strong decline that has been occurring recently. In 2011, there were 21,253 passenger vehicles fatalities compared to 22,273 in 2010, and that was a 4.6% decrease. However;large-truck occupant fatalities increased from 530 in 2010 to 635 in 2011, which is a 20% increase. This was a second consecutive year in which large truck fatalities have increased (9% increase from 2009 to 2010). There was also a 15% increase in large truck occupant injuries from 2010. Moreover, the fatal crashes involving large trucks increased by 1.9%, in contrast to other-vehicle-occupant fatalities that declined by 3.6% from 2010. The 2010 accident statistics NHTSA's report reveals that large trucks have a fatal accident involvement rate of 1.22 vehicles per 100 million vehicle miles traveled compared to 1.53 for light trucks and 1.18 for passenger cars. This translates to a fatal accident involvement rate of 32.35 vehicles per 100,000 registered large trucks compared to 17.02 for light trucks and 13.09 for passenger cars. These statistics indicate that large trucks account for a disproportionately large number of fatal crashes compared to any other type of vehicle (excluding motorcycles) even though they account for only a small fraction of registered vehicles. However, testing tractor trailer combinations on the test track is a cumbersome, potentially dangerous, and expensive process. An alternate means to test such vehicles is to use hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation technologies to test Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and other emerging advanced technologies intended for highway safety. The HIL simulation environment incorporates multiple software environments interacting with actual hardware. In such a simulation, the accuracy of the software models is critical to the accuracy of the simulation results. This paper outlines the modeling of a Volvo tractor and two trailers in Tru

China's heavy haul trains are moving towards the trend of large marshalling and long marshalling. In this case, if the small marshalling train can be embedded into the software environment by using the computer interface, the software and hardware of the system are required to run in real time, so as to simulate the running state of the whole system. Using the small marshalling train and cascade control scheme, the running state of the long marshalling train is simulated on the semi-physical simulation platform, which has important guiding significance for the development of heavy haul trains. Based on the LabVIEW simulation software, this paper develops a hardware-in-the-loop simulation test platform for the braking system of 150 marshalling freight trains. It has the function of combining the small marshalling physical braking system with the control system model, obtaining the braking performance test data of long and large marshalling trains through the cyclic cascade experiment, and controlling the error between the real experimental results and the experimental results of the hardware-in-the-loop simulation within a reasonable range.

This paper addresses the problem of experimentally characterizing the energy conversion losses associated with electricity harvesting from tethered marine hydrokinetic kites. The authors present a laboratory setup intended for this characterization. The setup utilizes two geared brushless DC electric machines. The first electric machine is intended for energy harvesting from a scaled kite system in a lake environment. The second electric machine is used in the laboratory for emulating the mechanical loads associated with energy harvesting, thereby allowing the setup to operate as a hardware-in-the-loop testing system. Experiments conducted using this system, for a kite flight trajectory optimized for mechanical power harvesting, reveal a significant discrepancy between the mechanical power seen at the tether release drum versus the electrical power ultimately generated. Simple linear regression shows that much of this discrepancy can be attributed to mechanical friction within the setup (including the electric machine's gearing), as opposed to electrical impedance. This creates a strong motivation for additional research on trajectory optimization for electrical power generation.

This paper presents a new approach for the modeling and real-time simulation of an embedded hybrid power source comprised of a fuel cell (FC) and a battery. The proposed modeling is based on a state-space-like representation of the system equations obtained from the modified-augmented nodal analysis. Systematic formulation of system equations is presented and the solution to the non-linear equations are discussed. The proposed model was implemented on an entry level Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and demonstrates sub-microsecond simulation time-step capability. The real-time solution is obtained by precomputing the system equations for all switch state combinations, and using the backward Euler integration scheme for solving differential equations. A fixed point number representation is utilized for speed and reduced configurable resource utilization. Our results show a high fidelity of the proposed model over a wide range of simulation time-steps and switching frequencies.

In the scientific literature, various temporal resolutions have been used to model electric vehicle charging loads. However, in most studies, the used temporal resolution lacks a proper justification. To provide a strengthened theoretical background for all future studies related to electric vehicle charging load modeling, this paper investigates the influence of temporal resolution in different scenarios. To ensure reliable baselines for the comparisons, hardware-in-the-loop simulations with different commercial electric vehicles are carried out. The conducted hardware-in-the-loop simulations consists of 134 real charging sessions in total. In order to compare the influence of different temporal resolutions, a simulation model is developed. The simulation model utilizes comprehensive preliminary measurement-based charging profiles that can be used to model controlled charging in fine detail. The simulation results demonstrate that the simulation model provides sufficiently accurate results in most cases with a temporal resolution of one second. Conversely, a temporal resolution of 3600 s may lead to a modeling error of 50% or even higher. Additionally, the paper shows that the necessary resolution to achieve a modeling error of 5% or less vary between 1 and 900 s depending on the scenario. However, in most cases, resolution of 60 s is reasonably accurate.

Industry 4.0 has imposed new challenges and opportunities to engineering education in robotics and control systems. The concept of the digital twin can be partially implemented with the use of virtual robots that incorporate 3D models and numerical simulations of the dynamical behaviour. This work presents the development of a virtual 3D SCARA robot which requires an external controller for the joint and kinematic motion control, this was implemented as a tool for teaching and learning robotics and control. The virtual 3D robot incorporates a novel numerical simulation that combines the Newton-Euler dynamic equations with the Rayleigh energy dissipation equation to consider the viscous friction. The developed virtual robot can be implemented in a real time simulation scheme connected to an external controller and used as an educational tool in a virtual robotics laboratory.
