ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo and Conference returns to Stuttgart, Germany, Europe’s most influential hub for automotive innovation, research and development on May 20, 21 & 22, 2025, and AI4CCAM will be there!

Exhibitors will showcase the latest technologies to enable and accelerate end-to-end autonomous and ADAS applications, including testing tools, simulation, software, sensing and AI.

You can also benefit by networking with international delegates and speakers from the adjoining Automotive Testing Expo Europe.

Elem Güzel, Virtual Vehicle Research, on 22 May (13.10-13.35 – Room A W2/3) will be holding a speech on “Integrating VR and CARLA for realistic vulnerable road user simulations“:

Driving simulators often struggle to accurately simulate vulnerable road users (VRUs) in safety-critical scenarios. We present a framework integrating immersive virtual reality and human motion capture with the CARLA driving simulator. This setup allows simulations where real human agents act as VRUs interacting with an AI-equipped ego car featuring advanced ADAS functions. It enables testing and validation of new ADAS features with real pedestrian behaviors, providing valuable data on VRU reactions in dynamic traffic environments. This approach enhances the realism of VRU simulations and supports the development and evaluation of safer, more effective ADAS technologies for real-world applications. The speech will be sharing with participants:

• An overview of SOTA driving simulators and their limitations, covering the behavior of vulnerable road users in dynamic traffic environments
• The capabilities of the framework that integrates the CARLA simulator with the VR Meta Quest Pro headset, involving real human agents as pedestrians
• The application domains and the use cases of the proposed VR+CARLA simulation framework.
