Development Of Vehicle-Body Control Modules Based On Simulink/Stateflow

As more and more companies start to design the electronic control units for the automobile, they are all thinking about designing the products with high quality and efficiency, and grabbing the market as soon as possible. Under this circumstances, modeling the electronic control units with Simulink/Stateflow, and generating the code with Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder for specific hardware, becomes a popular design pattern for these companies.Based on the deeply study and research of Stateflow and Real-Time Workshop, this thesis introduces several important tools and the process of code generation in MATLAB. It also describes the two different applications of Real-Time Workshop: Rapid Simulation and Generate Embedded Code.Body Control Module is an important part of the automobile, this thesis introduces the process of modeling and code generation for BCM. Besides this, it also describes the process of model debugging, writing the test case, checking the code coverage, and defining the specific code format. There are a lot of control modules in the vehicle, they have different functions but can be designed in the same process. Based on this thesis, automobile OEM companies can improve their software development process and design more reliable products.
