Conclusion Status Quo
Important topics today: validity, realism, standardization, simulator disease,
interfaces
Main fields of application: driving behavior, behavioral research, autonomous
driving, HMI / DMI, ergonomics examinations
Most important areas of application (planned): driver assistance systems, car-to-
car / car-to-x communication, driving behavior, HUD development
Status Quo
car / car-to-x communication, driving behavior, HUD development
Desired future fields of application: autonomous driving, behavioral research
Most common hardware components: steering wheel, pedals, acoustics,
information display, complete vehicle, cabin, seat box
Most common hardware (planned): eye tracking, HMDs, HUDs, information
displays, acoustic systems

Panel Development Needs
R&D Applications
Conclusion development needs in R&D applications
High development requirements for vehicle dynamics control, vehicle acoustics,
car-to-car / car-to-x communication
Little development requirements in safety at work, styling / design, training /
education, infotainment systems
Technology providers, unlike other panel groups, see no need for development
Development Needs R&D
Applications
Technology providers, unlike other panel groups, see no need for development
in driving behavior
Technology providers see, in contrast to other panel groups, significant
development needs in car-to-car / car-to-x communication and vehicle dynamics
control
In contrast to other panel groups, users do not see a need for development in
education / training and safety at work

Panel Development Needs
R&D Applications
Conclusion development needs hardware
High hardware development needs regarding finger tracking, hexapods, gesture
recognition, lateral movement track, sensors for physiological measurement, eye
tracking
Little hardware development needs regarding single displays, desktop systems,
seat box, stereo displays, touchpads, stereo projection
Development Needs
Hardware
Technology providers see, compared to other panel groups, a greater need for
development regarding cluster systems, eye / finger tracking, information
displays, and lateral movement tracks
Users see no need for development in stereoscopic techniques

Conclusion further development needs
High development requirements in the areas of realism, validity, legislation /
virtual acceptance, co-simulation, simulator disease
Little development needs in the areas of recruiting, multimodality, emulation
control technology, licensing models
Overall, users tend to see fewer further development needs, researchers (as
Further Development

Overall, users tend to see fewer further development needs, researchers (as
expected) more
Desired functionalities: main focus on high-quality presentation; further on
multi-simulation, acoustics, feedback control elements, real-time capability, HIL,
emulation sensors
