BrakeiL – A Comprehensive Solution for Brake System Validation
BrakeiL is our state-of-the-art real-time test rig designed to validate complete brake systems.
It enables precise and repeatable testing under a wide range of conditions, making it an essential tool for automotive engineers focused on performance, reliability, and functional validation.
BrakeiL includes the Pedal Robot Kit which is composed of
- A brake pedal assembly
- An actuator to operate the pedal
BrakeiL’s applications
Engineers can use BrakeiL for many purposes, either as a standalone system or integrated with a simulator.
Below you can find 3 key applications for each case.
1. Automated Testing (Standalone application)
BrakeiL enables automated testing supporting, for example, durability and reliability tests: by incorporating real brake components (e.g., BSM, brake discs) and using the integrated pedal actuator, engineers can conduct long-duration performance assessments.
2. ADAS Function Validation (in conjunction with a simulator with or without a driver in the loop)
The system enables precise calibration of ADAS algorithms, such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) or Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), among others, ensuring optimal interaction with the braking unit.
3. Integration with Dynamic Simulators
For dynamic simulator applications, BrakeiL provides a significant advantage.
When testing on a dynamic simulator, adding a physical brake system directly to the cockpit increases weight, potentially affecting its motion.
By using BrakeiL, engineers can offload braking components while maintaining full control, ensuring the same realistic and accurate test conditions by integrating an active braking feedback, as if the brake system was directly connected to the pedal.
Conclusion
BrakeiL provides a versatile and scalable solution for brake system validation across multiple applications, ensuring precision, repeatability, and efficiency in every scenario.
By enabling remote operation, precise braking feedback, and adaptable test configurations, BrakeiL allows engineers to advance brake testing methodologies, achieving reliable and high-fidelity results in controlled environments.
