Summary:One of the great challenges for the release of automated vehicles is the verification and evaluation of their cognitive skills. Therefore, Vehicle-in-the-loop testing provides an adequate tool, combining real test drives with simulations. In this paper we present our innovative Vehicle-in-the-loop framework: First, a marker-based head tracking is presented, which is able to track the driver’s head in presence of vehicle’s movement and illumination influences. Second, we present our realization based on the Open-Source framework ROS with an exemplary coupling to the professional simulation tool CarMaker. Finally, we evaluate our approach in different driving scenarios.
