Success stories

COS-Systems - Germany

We have been using the HLA Toolbox for MatLab to implement the control messages between CUCS-Core UAV Control System and VSM - Vehicle Specific Module in accordance with STANAG 4586 (Edition 2 (Standard Interfaces of UAV Control System (UCS) for NATO UAV Interoperability).

We have successfully developed a 6 DoF Simulation of a Stratospheric UAS including environment (temperature, pressure, density, gravitation and wind data) and a ground station (Flight Control & Status) based on MatLab tools. The simulation of the physical performance was realised in accordance with IEEE 1615 HLA standard.

The HLA Toolbox for MatLab has helped us to achieve quick results and evaluate the functionality of the UAS control messages.

First I want to say that is very pleasing to work together with you. When I had some problems (bugs, feature requests) during installation or what else Mr. Lebel was always very fast in fixing the named problems or offering a kind of workaround. Thanks again, I would like to have such a good support everywhere!

At the moment I can say, that the Setup of the HLA Toolbox is very user-friendly, you can specify the RTI you have got and for me the provided examples were very helpful, especially that one which shows how it is possible to in integrate the Matlab-Functions into Simulink (I've missed that with the MÄK Toolbox). I will give advertisement also to our project partners.

The global project we are using the HLA-Toolbox for, is the IMoST project. IMoST stands for "Integrated Modeling for Safe Transportation". The project was launched by the research institutes of the SafeTRANS initiative and the participating organizations are the "Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg", the "German Aerospace Center" (DLR in Braunschweig) and the "OFFIS - Institute for Information Technology" also in Oldenburg. In very short words you can say, that we want to improve the safety in transport systems by developing an approach which combines model based design with a psychological perspective. For example if a new driver assistance system is developed it is necessary to focus not only the technical part of the system it is also very important to analyze the interactions between the assistant system and the driver. The HLA-Toolbox will be used in this context to develop some physical car models or assistance systems in Matlab / Simulink which should be connected to other simulators using the HLA. Especially I'm working to get the necessary infrastructure working together (HLA-Toolbox, RTI, Visual Studio and so on) and I implement the HLA interfaces to the different simulators.
Hokkaido University - Japan

My name is Satoshi Kanai. I'm studying a system modeling and simulation research area as a professor of systems science and informatics division in Graduate School of Information Science and Technology in Hokkaido University. Our lab have been using the HLA Toolbox for connecting the three or four different simulators and 3D CAD systems (CATIA) in order to predict the dynamic behavior of the sub control system for cars and electric wheel chair control system. We are also using the RTI for connecting hardware prototypes such as an embedded processor or motors in the wheel chair mechanism. We're satisfied with the performance of your systems.
