This report describes the simulation studies that are conducted to find the most promising in-vehicle nudging solution to direct the attention of drivers of passenger cars towards potentially hazardous situations. Therefore different simulation studies have been carried out: * Study on different human machine interface (HMI) designs with 24 volunteers; six different designs have been tested with 12 female and 12 male participants and all of them hold a driving license; * Driver simulator study to compare the driver behaviour without a nudging HMI with the bahaviour using some different nudging HMI's; * The driver simulator experiment was on nudging HMI used a within-subject-design, in which each of the 30 participants was exposed to different test conditions in the different driving scenarios; * Simulation study on the static hazard model; * Simulation study to support the development of the dynamic hazard model. The virtual test environment and driving simulator will be used to perform optimization and for tuning the system parameters. Based on the results (will be included in D2.3) the most promising nudging solution to direct the attention of drivers to potentially hazardous situations including an appropriate HMI will be implemented into the (FIAT 500X) test car for validation in a field test (WP5).
