Abstract

In order to gain a holistic understanding about the operational use of the distinct implementations of driving simulators in research, this paper presents a overview of existing studies dealing with human-technology interaction in cockpits of highly-automated vehicles. One aspect of this work was to find a connection between research questions in scope of the respective studies on the one hand and the test environments being used to assess them on the other. Furthermore, based on the conducted analysis of scientific literature, human-centered descriptive factors required for the definition of a novel, standardized and technologically-independent framework for future examinations of the driver take-over task were identified.
