ESC requirements according to ECE 13/H regulation ECE13H: Use of HIL Simulation ECE13H enables the simulation as a proper method The effectiveness of the electronic stability control system may be determined by computer simulation Where a vehicle has been physically tested in accordance with 4, the compliance of versions or variants of that same vehicle type may be demonstrated by a computer simulation, which respects the test conditions of 4. and the test procedure of 5.9. The use of the simulator is defined in Appendix 1 to this annex... Annex 9. Appendix 1: 1.3. The simulation shall be carried out with a validated modelling and simulation tool. Real test Simulation tests
