Drive-by-Wire of a Converted into Electric Car Syrena 105 Enabling Hardware-In-Loop Tests of Driving

In this work, replacing an electronic throttle pedal and a driver in an electric car converted into electric by a hardware-in-loop workbench is described, highlighting the advantage of drive-by-wire feature that appeared after conversion. Drive-by-wire facilitates replacing a driver by Hardware-In-Loop (HIL) workbench, as instead of simulating a mechanical pedal depression by a servomechanism, electric signals can be transmitted directly from the workbench. The one-pedal-driving feature of the motor controller used in the car, allows for performing a variety of road tests replacing only the electronic throttle pedal. Hardware interventions in the car are described and sample HIL test results are presented.
