Hardware in the loop simulation platform for intelligent transport systems

The paper presents the main components for a hybrid system used in ITS domain for implementing hardware in the loop simulation. This type of simulation is used especially for systems characterized by high complexity as well as a high level of safety in operation and during maintenance activities. The authors describe the procedure to test different components of an ITS system and exemplify this type of simulation using LabVIEW environment and DAQ boards. The platform for hardware in the loop is developed in LabView environment and various sensors were integrated in the platform. The platform and the research are focused on safety functions more than any other function of the intelligent transport systems.
