Evaluation of IVIS/ADAS using Driving Simulators. Comparing Performance Measures in Different Environments

Experimental studies are important tools for evaluation of In-Vehicle Information System/Advanced Driving Assistant Systems (IVIS/ADAS). This paper shows that experimental studies in driving simulators, on test tracks and in real traffic can be valid tools, but at the same time it demands special expertise to create good experimental design. In several different projects the authors have compared the results in driving simulators with results from observational studies in real traffic, other experiments and literature reviews.
