The assessment of driving simulator immersiveness and realism is a relevant problem. Driving simulators are reputed to be professional development tools only, but their use by a large sample of subjects is, however, crucial for automated vehicles development or for Human-Machine-Interface studies.

    At Politecnico di Milano, engineers and psychologists from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, have completed an assessment of a cable driven driving simulator to check immersiveness and realism. Both subjective and objective measurements have been made testing ordinary (non-professional) drivers in presence of other road users during an immersive experience.

    The main focus was on motorway running conditions since UN-ECE Regulation 157 (Level 3 automated vehicles) refers to such a scenario.

    Before starting the driving experience, driving styles and emotions were assessed. Biological signals referring to eye tracking, gaze tracking, skin potential response, heart rate variability, forces and moments applied by each hand at the steering wheel were recorded during the driving (objective assessment). The DiM400 provided good immersiveness and allows a large experimental test campaign with ordinary drivers in a scenario relevant for UN-ECE 157 Regulation. After the driving simulation experience on the simulator, non-professional drivers reported average or above-average values of realism.
