This book chooses the topic which is due to the editors' experience in modeling projects in healthcare systems. Also, the transfer of experiences is the reason why mathematical modeling and decision making in the field of health are not given much attention. To this end, the new aspect of this book is the lack of reference needed to carry out projects in the field of health for researchers whose main expertise is not modeling. Students of health, mathematics, management, and industrial engineering fields are in the direct readership with this book. Different projects in the field of healthcare systems can use the topics presented in different chapters mentioned in this book.

Die Nutzung der Driver-in-the-Loop-Simulation zur virtuellen Entwicklung und Erprobung erfordert ein Software-Framework. Dieses muss zum einen die Erzielung repräsentativer Ergebnisse erlauben und zum anderen die Integration sowohl von Konzeptideen als auch prototypischer oder bestehender Systeme zulassen. Martin Kehrer weist für das Framework eine Simulationsgüte nach, die eine ausreichende Immersion des Fahrers erzielt. Maßgeblich hierfür ist die sogenannte Simulator Sickness, welche ein Index für eine mangelnde Immersion ist. Daneben bedingt die Erprobung neuer Fahrzeugsysteme die Bereitstellung einer ausreichenden Menge an Umgebungsdaten.

In der heutigen industriellen Produktion werden neue, flexibel einsetzbare Unterstützungssysteme notwendig, wie sie beispielsweise hybride Montagesysteme in Form von Leichtbaurobotern bieten. Der Einsatz solcher Systeme stellt dabei erhebliche Anforderungen an die Maschinensicherheit. Dies führt häufig zu einem Konflikt zwischen Produktivität und Sicherheit der Anwendung. Die nicht ausreichende Differenzierung zwischen Leichtbau- und Industrieroboter stellt dabei die größte Herausforderung dar, weshalb für die Interaktionsform der Koexistenz eine erweiterte Bewertungsmethodik erarbeitet wurde. Diese ermöglicht es, den normativen Sicherheitsabstand ohne Kompromittierung der Sicherheit zu reduzieren, um das volle Potential der neuen Technologie auszuschöpfen.
