NBN ISO 21233:2021

This document specifies a method for comparing simulation results from a vehicle model to measured
test data for an existing vehicle according to closing-curve tests as specified in ISO 11026. The purpose
of the validation is to demonstrate that the vehicle dynamics simulation, combined with an integrated
electronic stability control (ESC) system, can predict the roll and yaw stability behaviour of a physical
vehicle, including the ESC system interventions, during a closing-curve test. The simulation method can
be either hardware-in-the-loop [with the original electronic control unit (ECU) on a HiL test stand]
or software-in-the-loop, based on a software code generated from the same source as for the ECU in
the real vehicle. This document applies to heavy vehicles, including commercial vehicles, commercial
vehicle combinations, buses and articulated buses as defined in ISO 3833 (trucks and trailers with a
maximum weight above 3,5 tonnes and buses and articulated buses with a maximum weight above
5 tonnes, according to ECE and EC vehicle classification, categories M3, N2, N3, O3 and O4).
