Driving Simulators for HMI Research

The thesis in its second part describes using the driving simulators for research purposes. A complex system which involves a simulator incorporated into a set of measuring devices is described in detail, ways ofdata collection and analysis are shown. The last and most comprehensive chapter illustrates the possibilities of the driving simulator use through the mediation of the complex analyses of four experiments (which concurrently follows main ways of our investigation); the two experiments concerning driver’s fatigue, summarization of a set of HMI related measurements and the experiment focused on influence of an outer environment on driving
