Assessing In-Vehicle Information Systems application in the car: a versatile tool and unified testing platform.

In this paper we present the DriveLab IVIS testing platform which allows for the same experiments to be conducted both under simulator and real car conditions. Other key aspects of DriveLab is that it is highly modular (therefore allowing the exchange or integration of different components) and that it supports more than one driver. For example we show that the same IVIS devices and scenario can be used with two different 3D engines. The paper provides a technical overview and a brief example of use.
