Abstract

Ergoneers, the Department of Ergonomics, Munich, in collaboration with the Safe-Drive project, supported by BMWI, is researching methods on how to best assess cognitive workload. In the chosen approach, oriented according to ISO specification ISO/TS 15007-2, the D-Lab software is central and supports the user during the experiment. D-Lab controls all simulation and measurement components. In doing so, the driving simulation software can evaluate vehicle performance data to calculate the necessary driving dynamics values according to AAM guidelines. D-Lab shows all experimental conditions as selectable buttons which can be accessed via mouse click or network command from the driving simulator or from any other simulated application. The behavior of other vehicles and pedestrians can be simulated, controlled and programmed by the user. An important characteristic of the simulation is the accessibility of all simulation parameters. This allows for the integration of proprietary logic modules.
