Fahrsimulatorvalidität — Systematisierung und quantitative Analyse bisheriger Forschungen

Knowledge Base for Valid Driving Simulation

“…As part of the DFG project, corresponding driving tests were conducted in the field and in the static IAD driving simulator (180° FOV horizontally, sound simulation, force feedback). It is found that partially valid results can be achieved [14] with a driving simulator of this equipment in investigations under night vision conditions. When testing critical braking manoeuvres with active brake intervention, however, a static driving simulator has its limitations [15] due to lack of vestibular feedback.…”

“…The analysis of reference literature shows that are already some studies which are dedicated to the validation of driving simulators (Overviews in [2], [12]). The research efforts to date, however, raise critical points that are essential for further investigation (elaboration in [13]). Validation studies lack a clean methodology and presentation of results.…”

“…Also, there is a gap with regard to the objectives of the investigations considered in the validation studies. Thus, only two studies are known [13] that examined the suitability of driving simulators as a study environment for functional analysis of driver assistance systems. However, this question turns out to be important if particularly for such study objectives mostly experiments are conducted in simulated environment.…”

“…Also a systemic study of the influence of independent variables on the validity remained until now largely incomplete. [13] provide an overview of the main influencing factors: task-related and environment-related stress factors and individual conditions of performance. In a study, mostly a specific driving simulator is examined with regard to validity.…”
