As in-vehicle systems use head up displays (HUDs) more often,
researchers need to be able to investigate the correct way of displaying
information on these interfaces. In order to do this, researchers need easily
modifiable head up display interfaces to test against each other, something
most easily done digitally in a simulated environment. In an effort to allow
for this we have developed a HUD designer that allows data to put input to
the system and then used to display any created HUD onto either MiniSim
visuals directly or a secondary HUD display. This document was written as a
guide for those who are interested in using the Georgia Tech HUD Designer
software to inform them of what it requires, inform users of what the system
is doing, and then linking them to the software to use to make the
connections discussed. Please refer to the included software license. If you
use the system for studies please simply cite this tech report.

As in-vehicle technologies become more integrated into the
vehicle, researchers must have real-time vehicle data available to them to
investigate new technologies. In driving simulation settings, it can often be
difficult to get this information. In an effort to gather real-time data from
the National Advanced Driving Simulator MiniSim we have developed the
Simulator Telemetry INteGration (STING) module to pull any data the MiniSim
would normally output to its data acquisition files, and make those data
available for use within other programs. The module is fairly simple to
integrate into a MiniSim as it is purely software based. This document was
written as a guide for those who are interested in using the STING software,
to inform them of what STING can do, inform users of how the system works,
and then linking them to the software download. Please refer to the included
software license. If you use the system for studies please simply cite this
