Abstract

In the automotive industry, a significant amount of resources are invested in demonstration vehicles that showcase innovative, emerging technologies. The process undertaken to build a demonstration vehicle is quite extensive, bringing together many disciplines within an organization as well as partners and suppliers from other industries. In this paper, the current process is described in detail, using a case study as an example. The areas of the demonstration vehicle that are most affected by human factors, namely the driver information areas (e.g., the center stack systems and instrument cluster), are the focus of this paper.
