Automated Vehicle-in-the-Loop

The Automated Vehicle-in-the-Loop (AVIL) is a versatile research vehicle combining virtual reality and real automatic driving experience at the same time! It provides a powerful testbed on the basis of an Audi A6 for automated and cooperative driving tasks. Moreover it is perfectly suited for investigating human-machine interaction, especially in potentially dangerous scenarios such as collision avoidance or cooperative driving scenarios. The AVIL is an enhancement of the original Vehicle-in-the-Loop (VIL), which was developped by Prof. Berthold Färber and his group, and adds the ability of automated driving to the VIL.
