User Interaction with Digital Twins for Driving: How Comparable Are Simulated and Real Trajectories?

Abstract

This paper investigates the physiological responses of individuals driving both on a real
route and within a vehicle simulator designed as a digital twin of that route. The analysis
of observed data patterns in stress response bio signals provides sufficient evidence of
similarity to validating the driving simulation digital twin as a reliable replacement for
real-world experiences in controlled and consistent settings, or when overall trends of
physiological variables, rather than specific variable levels, are of interest. The findings also
stress the need for optimizing the precision of digital twins in complex settings. This study
introduces a time-series-based validation approach for driving digital twins by comparing
continuous physiological trajectories between real and simulated driving
