Highly Immersive Driving Simulator

In this video, we present to you the highly immersive driving simulator, a project of the Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden) in Germany, largely funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI). We were selected by the TU Dresden as the partner responsible for the design and assembly of the system as well as for the integration of third-party deliverables.
The automotive industry and its research partners are working on new technologies and functions for the automated vehicle of the future. More and more into focus come humans and their interaction with automated vehicles and vehicle functions. In human-machine interaction, high technology meets human feelings and instinctive action.
The driving simulator makes it possible to test and improve handover situations between man and machine in a lifelike manner - especially in critical situations or even accidents. Its innovative concept enables completely new and highly realistic simulation scenarios and thus, for the first time, a realistic perception of vehicle behaviour by the test drivers. Inside, the drivers are placed in realistic driving situations, including the sensation of acceleration and change of direction. The term "highly immersive", which comes from the field of virtual reality, refers to the technical "immersion" of the users in virtual reality, so that their consciousness perceives it as real. This is something that previous driving simulators can only offer for a few manoeuvres.
The project is a challenge that we gladly accepted. It gives AMST the opportunity to transfer and further develop their know-how in the simulation of aircraft to road vehicles. We are proud to create together with TU Dresden such a unique device which provides entirely new possibilities in automobile simulation and will ultimately make driving safer.
