Conceptualisation and Optimization of a Collaborative and Tooldriven Development Process for HMI-Graphic and Operating Procedure Specification

In the development of complex automotive HMI systems, car manufacturers don’t make use of their full potential. Although efficient reference processes and innovative development approaches exist companies prefer the application of established methods and tools. The shift towards new development approaches takes place slowly and step by step to avoid a negative impact on running
