Hill Start Assist (HSA) Validation – Electronic Braking ECU | dSPACE Scalexio HIL

Project Description

Validated Hill Start Assist (HSA) functionality using the Electronic Braking ECU (EBCU) on a dSPACE Scalexio HIL test bench.
The project focused on standstill scenarios, braking logic, and safety compliance. Robustness was ensured through automated test execution, fault injection, and system-level validations.

Tools & Technologies Used

• dSPACE Scalexio HIL (ConfigurationDesk, ControlDesk, AutomationDesk)
• Python (automation scripts for HIL testing)
• JIRA, DOORS, RQM (requirements, defect tracking, traceability)
• CANalyzer (signal monitoring & debugging)
• CAPL scripting (CAN communication)
• Microsoft Excel/Word (test case design & reporting)

 How to Run/Test the Project
Clone the repository:

bash
Copy code
git clone https://github.com/your-username/Hill_Start_Assist_HIL_Validation.git
Navigate to the scripts/ folder and run automation scripts (example in Python):

bash
Copy code
python example_script.py
Open testcases_and_execution/HIL_Test_Cases_with_result.xlsx to review executed test cases.

Use documents/ for requirement mapping and reports.

Screenshots of results are in /screenshots.



 Example Test Case Format
Test Case ID	Requirement ID	Pre-Condition	Steps	Expected Result	Status
TC_HSA_001	RQ_HSA_001	Vehicle on slope, brake applied	Release brake pedal	Vehicle holds position for 2s	Pass
