Between Trust and Technology: The Challenges of Modern Driver Assistance Systems

Autor: | Released: 4. September 2025

Prof. Bernhard Schick in einem Podcast Studio für Moove

What truly makes a good assistant? How do these systems actually work, and why do drivers perceive them so differently? Is the problem rooted more in the human – or in the machine? Why is it so difficult to find the right balance of trust in driver assistance systems – and what risks arise when there is either too much or too little trust? What role does the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) play in ADAS, particularly with regard to system transparency and, ultimately, trust? These and many other questions are discussed by Prof. Bernhard Schick, Head of the Institute for Driver…

Rethinking User-Centric Innovation: A Two-Step Experiment Design for Design Thinking Workshops

Autor: | Released: 25. July 2025

Ankündigung, dass MdynamiX bei der 16. Internationalen Konferenz zu Angewandten Human Factors und Ergonomie (AHFE 2025) teilnimmt. Vortrag: ‚Two-step Experiment Design for Participative Design Thinking‘ von Gioele Micheli, Seda Aydogdu und Bernhard Schick.“

Developing innovative products in the field of Human Factor and User Experience (UX) is particularly challenging when it involves new, complex technologies that users are not yet familiar with. How can we ensure that functions are experienced intuitively, that user needs are truly met, and that acceptance increases in such cases? This is precisely where the new paper from our Human Factor + UX Team, presented by Gioele Micheli at AHFE 2025 in Orlando, comes in:

MdynamiX begins integration of VehicleSim software into MX test benches, expanding simulation capabilities across vehicle types

Autor: | Released: 24. June 2025

Benningen, 12.06.2025 – MdynamiX, Germany-based specialist in real-time Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) solutions, has established a new collaboration with VehicleSim by Applied Intuition, a US-based, global leader in vehicle dynamics simulation software. The partnership aims to integrate VehicleSim’s renowned tools – CarSim, TruckSim, and BikeSim – into the MdynamiX series of test systems. This early-stage cooperation was sparked by the need to support motorcycle development through BikeSim, but the broader goal is to enhance the overall simulation capabilities of MdynamiX’s HiL platforms across all vehicle types. MX Test Systems Gain Direct Interface to VehicleSim for Scalable, Flexible Development The integration will…

Key Visual zuMensch-Maschine-Interaktion und Leistung: Ein integrativer Ansatz zur Verbesserung von Fahrerassistenzsystemen

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have established themselves globally as a key innovation for increased safety and comfort. But how can an evaluation approach succeed that takes into account both technical performance and user experience – and does so in a market-specific way? Joint research question with VW do Brasil: “How can an evaluation approach be developed that enables customer-oriented and tailored ADAS solutions for the South American region – while also being transferable to other markets with different cultural contexts?” Market-Specific Challenges in South America The South American market accounts for around 5% of the global automotive market,…

Efficient Vehicle Testing: How MXeval Bridges the Gap Between Simulation and Reality

Autor: | Released: 14. April 2025

The Challenge: Consistent Evaluation Across Diverse Testing Environments Developing modern vehicles is an incredibly complex process. Engineers face the challenge of connecting various testing environments – from simulations and lab tests to real-world driving trials. But how can all of this data be analyzed efficiently and consistently? This is where MXeval comes in – a powerful tool that bridges the gap between virtual and real-world testing, revolutionizing the development process. It enables centralized analysis of all data, regardless of whether it comes from a simulation or an actual test drive. Real-World Example: ACC Testing in Simulation A concrete example illustrates…

How We Optimize Driver Assistance Systems – with MXeval

Autor: | Released: 7. April 2025

Subjective Evaluation and Objectification with MXeval Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are revolutionizing the automotive industry and play a crucial role in driving safety. However, to ensure that these systems are not only objectively effective but also comfortable and intuitive from a driver’s perspective, comprehensive evaluation is necessary. This is where MXeval from MdynamiX comes into play: a comprehensive software that combines subjective driver assessments with objective measurement data – directly in the test vehicle. Why Are Subjective Evaluations Crucial? In addition to objective measurements, subjective assessments from engineers, experts, and test drivers are essential to understanding the actual user…
