A HIL Test Approach for Data Generation on CAN Communication Under Disturbance Injections

This article presents a method for generating a dataset from CAN protocol communication using a test bench based on the IEC 62228-2019 standard. Modern automotive embedded systems feature many electronic control units for engine control, ABS, traction control, and power steering. Ensuring reliability and effectiveness, consistent testing, and data analysis are essential. This article proposes a testing approach to verify and record CAN communication under disturbances, using a redundant channel and a fault injection method with specially developed hardware. Different injected noise values were defined based on prior work. A sequence of tests applying the hardware-in-the-loop approach generates valuable preprocessed datasets. The results show that the proposed method records all CAN communication data, producing around 15 million records. This dataset enables detailed analysis of EFT fault propagation in the CAN network from various vehicle noise sources, providing a foundation for future data-driven diagnostic systems development.
