Relevant active safety test scenarios must be based on appropriate use-cases, i.e. critical traffic situations. In order to avoid endangering subjects’ physical well-being, test equipment is required that reliably simulates obstacles with realistic appearance that are also safe to crash. For cross-traffic scenarios and the examination of lateral driving behavior, existing test equipment, such as driving simulators, exhibit certain deficits. The authors present a compressed air powered lateral obstacle simulator (CAPLOS), a low-cost system for the creation of incursion-based critical situations. This paper describes the setup of CAPLOS and demonstrates its suitability for use in active safety ADAS user studies with exemplary driving study data.}, note = {}, institution = {Universität der Bundeswehr München, Fakultät für Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik, LRT 11 - Institut für Arbeitswissenschaft, Professur: Färber, Berthold}, }
