A Multifunctional VR-Simulator Platform for the Evaluation of Automotive User Interfaces

This contribution presents an approach for a scientific driving simulator platform for the representation and evaluation of new driver assistance and information systems. We will give a short introduction to the used gaming engine and then present the developed components of our new driving simulation platform. For a most realistic driving behavior, we implemented an own physics-component basing on a real vehicle model. Further, the platform provides the opportunity to easily create new scenarios depending on the test setup.
