Automated Testing of Air-Bag Control Modules

摘要

Because it is one of the most important safety features in modern-day cars, an air bag must perform reliably under very severe operating conditions. In command of this lifesaver is the air-bag control module. It is in charge of a number of functions, including interfacing with the display console, other control modules, crash sensors, and the air-bag assembly. Since air-bag control modules must be subjected to a number of tests, automating the process is the most repeatable and effective approach. This is why a manufacturer of air-bag control modules chose AVALON, a stand-alone PC-based test system from Dateppli that automates the testing and validation of hardware and software for dedicated control modules.
