Human-In-The-Loop
Strengthen the human-machine connection with real-time, simulation-enabled feedback
Testing how your equipment works with the operator when final field-prototypes are available is too late and you risk project failure. Drivers must be at the heart of your engineering process.
Vortex Studio bridges machine design, high-fidelity virtual environments and hardware, software, and humans—for enhanced human-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. HIL systems allow you to tie real-time, interactive immersive environments to a test rig and verify machine ergonomics and the human connection with in-cab ADAS. All together, well tested and thought out controls mean a faster time to market, and a natural fit for customers.
Controllability, reproducibility, and standardization of testing is essential in making high-quality assessments of system and human behaviour. HIL-based simulation allows you to build controlled environments where it is easier to repeat standardized tests.
Fielding physical prototypes is costly and time consuming and machine availability is always an issue. Within a virtual test environment, machinery is always available, and it is easier to measure results and collect data—driving a reduced time to market.
Constructing live test scenarios is costly and impractical. Testing a control system, or ADAS, with a human-in-the-loop is far more effective when combined with a simulation of the real-world worksite.
Testing edge-cases, system performance in safety-critical operations, and how operators behave when the unexpected happens is all made possible with a HIL system & immersive virtual test environments.
