The autonomous car is no longer a futuristic dream. SAE-L3 and L4 autonomous vehicles are already on public roads. There is a growing consensus that L3 L4 automation will not always be active and is not for every situation. As a consequence, interactions between driver and vehicle will require frequent transitions of control authority. This article outlines a study which uses a Cruden driving simulator to explore the effects of the Haptic Shared Control (HSC) approach, as an alternative to Traded Control (TC) for these transitions.

Knowledge Base
Tool integration – Data acquisitionFrom racecar setup to human factors research, there are many ways in which Cruden’s customers marry subjective impressions with recorded data in the driving simulator. For example, universities that use Cruden simulators for research are always finding new ways to draw more robust conclusions. This includes integrating biometrics tools that enable them to compare the subjective recollections of how test subjects think or say they acted, with data on what they actually did.

Perfect harmony: The driving simulator as a virtual OEMVehicle OEMs rely on component suppliers to contribute their expertise to new products, but the car makers skilfully integrate the different elements and put the brand’s unique stamp on the finished design. That could mean finessing their signature ride and handling behaviour, evolving intuitive HMI and cabin controls or, increasingly, ensuring ADAS technologies work seamlessly to enhance active safety.

Standard interfaces for non-standard simulatorsAs part of its open architecture approach, Cruden supports integration with common industry standards. Examples are the file formats overseen by ASAM that enable different tools to work together on the same set of road models. These standards include OpenDRIVE for road definition, OpenCRG to describe the geometry of a road and OpenSCENARIO for the dynamic content in driving and traffic simulators.
