Abstract Depending on the application, different concepts for driving simulators have been realized. A quite common dynamic driving simulator concept for professional applications, i.e., a motion platform consisting of a hexapod based on a linear rail, is explained in detail. Using Daimler’s dynamic simulator as an example, the essential technological components of driving simulators are explained and the potentials and limitations due to the sensitivity of the human vestibular organ are discussed. Reasons for simulator sickness and how to avoid it complete the part on simulator design. A second focus is placed on the design of simulator experiments with test persons. A clear goal of the simulation experiment, a good choice of technical and psychological test design, and knowledge about the behavior of test persons help set up effective driving simulator tests. Driver distraction is an essential feature to simulate the complete scope of real accident situations and to assess the behavior of a representative set of test persons. The factors affecting the validity of simulator experiments compared to real-world experiments are discussed, and some findings on the opportunities and limitations of simulator experiments are presented.
