Test and Validation of a motorcycle dashboard

Abstract

It’s a presentation of the design and implementation of a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) bench dedicated to testing a motorcycle dashboard. This project aims to simulate various motorcycle conditions by generating realistic analog and digital signals to verify the proper functioning of the dashboard in a controlled environment using the actual tools of Vector Informatik that are made for automotive test and validation. The bench consists of a microcontroller-based system (ESP32 and Arduino Nano), DAC modules, relays, and signal conditioning circuits, all coordinated together by custom firmware. This work highlights the challenges of embedded systems integration, real-time signal emulation and the importance of verification tools in the development lifecycle of automotive-grade electronics
