Hardware in the loop Market Trends and Dynamics
Driver: Technological advancements in electric and autonomous vehicles
Technologies such as advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous driving, and collision avoidance systems are being adopted in automobiles to improve safety and ride comfort. Hardware in the loop testing is done for ECUs, algorithms, and software used in autonomous technology.
Camera, radar, LiDAR, Image Signal Processing units, GPS, and other sensors are also tested to validate the sensor data using hardware in the loop test benches. Continental has invested USD 76.5 million for developing ADAS and autonomous driving technologies in its Memmingen facility and a new facility, Neu-Ulm, in Germany. In the US, Hyundai has formed a JV with Aptiv to develop self-driving systems for commercialization automobile applications to be used in robotaxi. Minus Zero, a startup based in Bangalore, India, has raised USD 1.7 million for setting up R&D infrastructure to develop affordable self-driving cars. Thus, the demand for hardware in the loop testing in autonomous vehicle technology will increase as more automobile manufacturers adopt the features in their vehicles.
Restraint: High cost of ownership and technical complexity in implementation
Hardware in the loop is a complex technique to be implemented as designing the mathematical model can be complex based on the variables and the function block added to the system. Complex systems such as microgrids, aircraft models, and automobile environment generation require hardware with the capability to handle heavy data processing. This requires investing in an initial setup of expensive real-time simulators and rack computers to run the simulation model. Therefore, when a manufacturer is looking to set up hardware in the loop test system, it is expensive to buy a new system, and complex programs are required to set up the simulation model. With the increasing complexity in the design of embedded controllers, the demand for compatible hardware in the loop system has increased to fulfill the test requirements.
Opportunity: Adoption in new application areas such as power electronics and industrial robotics
The hardware in the loop technique for testing is used mainly in the automotive and aerospace sectors. The growing functionalities in modern vehicles have led to an increase in the demand for hardware in the loop testing solutions which can meet these new benchmarks. In the aviation sector, hardware in the loop systems are used mainly for the verification and validation of aerospace control systems. Since physical testing in this sector can be very risky for the real plant as well as human life, the hardware in the loop technique is preferred for most of the testing needs.
In recent years, the demand for the hardware in the loop testing technique in the power electronics sector has increased, especially for testing the operation, stability, and fault tolerance of electrical grids. It is also being used in the robotics sector for the testing of complex controllers used for robots. The need to meet the industry safety standards among manufacturers is also creating growth opportunities for the hardware in the loop industry.
Challenge: Complexity in creating real-time simulation
The hardware in the loop system needs to be designed and programmed as per the requirements of a user. With the change in goal and the device being tested, the specifications of the hardware in the loop system need to be changed so that it is able to simulate an environment that is very close to the real conditions; therefore, it is not possible to create a standard program for all applications. For instance, the programming of the hardware in the loop system for an automobile manufacturer to ensure the products are as per the controller area network (CAN) conformance will be quite different from that of an aerospace manufacturer for testing its aerospace control systems. For this task, extensive knowledge and training are required.
Hardware in the Loop Market Segmentation
