Abstract
Apparatus for providing real-time data to a hardware-in-the-loop simulator for an automotive vehicle. The apparatus includes a test vehicle having at least one sensor which generates an output signal representative of a condition of the vehicle. A wireless transmitter such as a cellular phone on the motor vehicle receives the sensor output signal as an input signal and transmits that output signal to a computer network. A simulator data server receives the data from the computer network and provides that data to the hardware-in-the-loop simulator.
