“…To support the IC design cycles, rapid prototyping tools and platforms are required. In the beginning of automotive user interface evaluation, tools like HyperCard or SuperCard were the most popular choices for prototyping interactive control-panel interfaces [7]. Other approaches utilize system design software like LabView to rapidly create facsimiles of existing ICs [8], make use of reprogrammable interfaces [4] and use digital displays to simulate a system behavior based on triggered events [18].…”

This paper offers a contribution for platform-based evaluation techniques by proposing a hardware-in-the-loop-based approach for automotive instrument cluster (IC) development. An automotive IC interface requires for special attention as it provides the driver with safety-relevant information like speed or state of charge that is critical for the driving situation. As state of the art in-vehicle Human-MachineInterfaces (HMI) are mostly embedded systems that make time-consuming research and development processes necessary, we propose a development platform that allows for a more rapid interface implementation and analysis. The evaluation platform for ICs (EPIC) is targeted at supporting engineers and researchers during the development phase of novel interface solutions that are reliable regarding their hardware connectivity and signal communication. It consists of a model-based vehicle simulation combined with automotive hardware to enable a real-time vehicle structure through a controller area network (CAN). Interchangeable, Androidbased interfaces illustrate the flexibility of the approach and show the operability of the evaluation platform. To illustrate the applicability of the approach, the platform was embedded in an engineering process for an electric vehicle to address the challenge of user interface development.

“…Thus, for iterative design to occur, rapid prototyping tools are required. Within the human factors community, HyperCard and SuperCard, both Macintosh applications, are the most popular choices for prototyping interactive control-panel interfaces (Green, Boreczky, and Kim, 1990). These applications have been used to prototype the TravTek driver interfaces (Carpenter, Fleischman, Dingus, Szczublewski, Krage, and Means, 1991), the interfaces developed by UMTRI (Green, Williams, Hoekstra, George, and Wen, 1993;Paelke and Green, 1993;Serafin, Wen, Paelke, and Green, 1993), for the ADVANCE project, and for the ongoing destination entry experiments in the FAST TRAC project.…”

This paper describes an ongoing effort to develop computer-simulated instrumentation for the UMTRI Driver Interface Research Simulator. The speedometer, tachometer, engine and fuel gauges, along with warning lights are back projected onto a screen in front of the driver. The image is generated by a Macintosh running LabVIEW. Simulated instrumentation (instead of a production cluster) was provided so that new display designs can be rapidly generated and tested.
