ABSTRACT: The present case study deals with the development, validation, and HIL testing of a solution for an Adaptive Cruise Control using the MATLAB and Simulink platform using a Model Base approach. The work has two main phases: the first concerned the development of three different solutions in MATLAB and Simulink tested according to scenarios described in the UK implementation of the ISO 15622:2018 and EuroNCAP Car-to-Car testing, the second phase is centered around the development of a Hardware in the Loop architecture with an external Nvidia board to run the controller. The scenarios defined in the documentation provided by the stakeholders are developed ex novo with the MATLAB Scenario designer Toolbox. The HIL testing was performed through the use of ROS2 as a middleware on a Linux Ubuntu system to run the controller node and to set the CAN communication with the Windows PC running the environment and sensor fusion parts.
