Successful kick-off of the Emotion project! As part of this project, the WIVW will contribute to zero emission mobility within the next three years. Further information will follow shortly.
This project is supported with funds from the Climate and Energy Fund of the Austrian government and implemented in line with the "Zero Emission Mobility" programme. Further information can be found here: https://www.klimafonds.gv.at/
The recent volume of the journal Traffic Injury Prevention contains an open access published literature review on active safety systems for powered two-wheelers created with WIVW contribution.

The current SILAB version 6.5 is available and contains many improvements to scenery and simulation. Nine new vehicle models are included. Sound barriers, industrial areas and bicycle lanes can now be designed. Within the pedestrian simulation, you can now use emergency personnel (police, fire brigade, rescue service), as well as animations for interactions with other road users. A totally reworked, clearer and more user-friendly version of SILAB-AEdit makes it easier than ever before to create your own scenarios. The improvements are rounded off by supporting the newest VR hardware and additions to developer interfaces.
If you are already using SILAB, please contact silab@wivw.de or your personal support contact to find out how you can upgrade your installation.
On November 21st 2019, the WIVW is at the 5th Symposium Driving Simulation in Aachen with the following presentation:

The WIVW will be at the DSC 2019 EuropeVR, which is held in Strasbourg from September 4-6, 2019. You can meet us at booth 25, presenting our driving simulation SILAB® on a small mobile driving simulator. In a conference talk, a comparison of resarch results between a Wizard-of-Oz vehicle and a static driving simulator will be featured. Further information on the conference can be found here.
The WIVW bicycle simulator was further developed and now has a 360° panoramic view. The bicycle simulator runs on SILAB® with improved bicycle-specific driving dynamics also enabling the simulation of pedelecs. The list of features include an 11-speed electronic gear shift, a multi-function display, and a passive motion system.
The WIVW attends the 8th International Symposium on Naturalistic Driving Research, held on 13./14. August 2019 in Melbourne with the following presentation:

WIVW is hosting a workshop on the development of HMI Guidelines for Automated Vehicles at the Driving Assessment Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico (24.-27.06.2019).
Attendees of the DA conference are invited to participate in a workshop on the development of HMI Guidelines for Automated Vehicles. This workshop will follow the Driving Assessment 2019 Symposium, Thursday, June 27, 2019, beginning at 1:00 pm and ending around 6:30 pm (13:00-18:30) at the Eldorado Hotel, Santa Fe, New Mexico. If you plan to attend the workshop, please consider this when booking your flight, hotel room reservation and other travel expenses.
The workshop will be held with around 12 participants. It is intended for both practitioners and academics in the automotive domain who have previous experience in the ADAS HMI design, development and evaluation methods. The goal of the workshop is to bring together members of the human factors community to stimulate discussion and develop HMI guidelines and assessment methods for the safe and comfortable use of automated driving systems. The workshop will include hands-on experience and evaluation of rented series production partially automated vehicles, the application of an existing heuristic assessment method, and a joint revision of the assessment method based on the input of the workshop attendees.
If you are interested to participate in the workshop, please send an email with a short biography to the WIVW Group organizing committee, Katharina Wiedemann (wiedemann@wivw.de) or Nadja Schömig (schoemig@wivw.de).
As available places for the workshop are limited, attendees will be picked by the organizing committee based on the short biographies.
