Abstract

To enhance the efficiency and safety of today´s road transport the application of driver support systems and fully automated, intelligent transport systems becomes increasingly important. The safety and reliability requirements of these systems and their complexity are high, which results in a costly, time consuming development and testing process. The paper presents an intelligent vehicle hardware in the loop simulator for faster and more efficient development and testing of full-scale intelligent vehicle and transport systems. Its technical feasibility and added value are illustrated by applying the concept to a passenger car platooning experiment
