Vehicle Design Validation via Remote Vehicle Diagnosis: A feasibility study on battery management system

In recent years, passenger vehicle product development faces great challenges to maintain high vehicle quality due to the proliferation of Electronics, Control and Software (ECS) features and the resultant system complexity. Quickly detecting and trouble-shooting faults of integrated vehicle systems during the validation stage in a key to enhancing vehicle quality. In this paper, we present a feasibilty study of Vehicle Design Validation via Remote Vehicle Diagnosis (VDV-via-RVD) and its application in the validation of vehicle battery management system. After the discussion of the advantages and challenges of VDV-via-RVD, some preliminary experimental results are presented to demonstrate the concept.
