Studies on distributed synthetic simulation for aircraft utility management system

The aircraft utilities distributed synthetic simulation platform hereby provide a simulation platform for the investigation of the aircraft electro-mechanical systems, which consists the cockpit environment control subsystem, hydraulic power subsystem, power source subsystem, braking subsystem, fuel management subsystem, front wheel steering subsystem and undercarriage control subsystem, etc. The distributed utilities management system (UMS) simulation platform proposed is designed for integrating hardware and software based on multi-processors connected to dual redundant data-bus to demonstrate the utility management system design scheme. Distributed simulation platform hardware topology and software framework are established. Optimized management strategies for the utility subsystems involves load balancing strategy for the purpose of high distributed process ability, distributed real-time database management method, reliability, redundancy, fault handling and realization of the demo environment for the visual simulation.
