The current trends in the automotive industry, such as automated driving, place the role of the driver and their interaction with the vehicle at the centre of development. The use of driving simulators makes it possible to assess the functionality and effectiveness of these systems at an early stage. However, modern driving simulators are currently unable to meet all of the resulting testing requirements. In particular, they reach their technical limits when it comes to representing sustained accelerations. Owing to their very limited horizontal workspace, simulations often lead to misperception on the part of the test subject and to low immersion.

The concept of a self-driving, tyre-based driving simulator theoretically permits an unlimited extension of the workspace, which in turn results in a substantial increase in simulation quality.

This dissertation investigates the feasibility of a self-driving driving simulator and presents the design of such a simulator.
