Abstract:
Abstract - Driving simulators support the development process of new vehicle systems, such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Driving simulators are varying in their structural complexity, fidelity and cost. Furthermore, they consist of numerous simulation models that cooperate at runtime. These partial models represent dedicated aspects of the vehicle under test, other traffic participants as well as the environment. Since the development of a driving simulator is costly and complex task, testing and training of ADAS often requires more than one driving simulator. There is a need for a reconfigurable driving simulator that allows the operator to reconfigure the simulator and its structure or exchange the simulation models in a simple way without in depth know how of the system structure or interface topology. This paper describes a concept for a task-specific reconfigurable driving simulator for testing ADAS. A systematic for the development process is presented, the key software and hardware components of the driving simulator are identified, and a configuration mechanism and its software are briefly presented.
