Abstract: To ensure comprehensive safety policy verification and effective human-computer interaction evaluation in automotive smart cabins, this paper introduces a sophisticated hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system. This system is equipped with advanced motion simulation and scenario simulation capabilities, enabling realistic driving experience tests. The paper provides a detailed description of the entire system architecture, encompassing the functional definition of each subsystem, the meticulous selection of both hardware and software components, and the critical design parameters. Additionally, the paper presents the application of this platform for pre-collision strategy verification and a thorough driving experience evaluation of the active control retractor, showcasing the system's practical utility and robustness.

Keywords: HIL; hardware-in-the-loop; smart cabin; active control retractor; motion simulation; driving experience.
