Research on Fault Injection Method of Train MVB Bus by Hui SONG, Lide WANG, Zhaozhao LI, Xiaomin DU

“…By studying the generation mechanism of the vehicle network faults, fault injection such as MVB network impedance mismatch, intermittent disconnection, and data frame error was realized. At the same time, taking latch metastable structure as random number entropy source, a real random number generation model based on LFSR + latch structure was proposed to simulate the occurrence of incidental and random faults.Finally, the MVB network test platform was built to further verify the feasibility of fault injection method by collecting the MVB network waveform data and extracting feature quantities under various fault modes.…”
