Robust Validation of Rotary Switch with TFT Display in Hardware in Loop Simulation

Modern automotive systems are increasingly integrating advanced human-machine interfaces, including TFT displays, to enhance driver experience and functionality. Ensuring the reliability of these systems under diverse operating conditions is critical, especially given their role in vehicle control. This paper presents a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing methodology for validation of rotary switch with TFT display. The HIL setup simulates real-world vehicle conditions, including CAN communication, power fluctuations and user interactions, enabling early detection of potential failure modes such as display flickering or communication loss. The results demonstrate improved robustness and reliability of the gear selection switch, supporting its deployment across multiple vehicle platforms.
