well as the sound alarm is set off (WNG). If this user is moving towards the very
near right zone (Table 7.2, line 3, column 2), the system will activate the
immobilizer (SINright). This double reading enables us to gain an overview of the
progress of situations in time and thus to ensure coherence of the functioning of the
assistance according to the evolution of the situation.
7.6. Evaluation of solutions on a driving simulator
Once the iterative validation cycles V1 and V2 are finished (see Figure 7.3), the
next stage, dedicated to the validation of the system developed, was carried out on
the dynamic truck simulator of Renault Trucks (SCOOP
6
). It occurred in two steps
(V3 cycle, Figure 7.3). An initial intermediary phase enabled the modifications
and/or adjustments that need to be carried out to be identified, as much for the
assistance strategies and HMIs as for the progress of virtual situations. The second
phase constituted the experimental part dedicated to the final ergonomic evaluation
of the HMIs and assistance strategies. Each phase progressed according to a distinct
experimental procedure.
For these tests, the simulator was equipped with a “Renault Midlum” type cab,
mounted on a dynamic platform at an optional possible six degrees (Figure 7.13,
left-hand side). The interactive vehicle (simulated vehicle) was a “carrier” type truck
(Figure 7.13, right-hand side), representative of a large number of town distribution
vehicles.
