Pedestrian Simulator

Fields of application

• Behavioral analysis of pedestrians
• Parameterization of pedestrian models
• Exterior HMI usability and acceptance
• Studies on (non-verbal) communication between the pedestrian and other road users
• Recording of pedestrian movement data
• Demonstration of not yet validated or incomplete systems

Optional measurement technology

• Live co-simulation with macroscopic or microscopic simulations, with driving simulators, or real vehicles.
• Eyetracking system for gaze capture

Technical data

• Wireless virtual reality for realistic immersion
• Unrestricted scenario size due to pedestrian motion model (movement on the spot is translated into forward movement)
• Full body tracking with 6x6 degrees of freedom (head, hands, pelvis, feet)
• Inverse kinematic model for body pose reconstruction
• Virtual pedestrian can be adapted to the test subject
• Arbitrary virtual environments
• Procedural generated environment from real geo data
• Integrated in the modular 3D-simulation framework VERITAS
• Full adaptability of the simulation to the experiment
• Many years of experience
