The DLR is the research centre of the Federal Republic of Germany for aeronautics and space. Its research and development activities in aeronautics, space, energy, transport and security are integrated into national and international cooperation. In addition, the DLR, on behalf of the Federal Government, is responsible for planning and implementing German space activities. In addition, the DLR has two project promoters to fund research. The DLR explores earth and solar system, provides knowledge to preserve the environment and develops environmentally sound technologies for energy supply, mobility, communication and security. Its portfolio ranges from basic research to the development of products for tomorrow. The DLR operates large-scale research facilities for its own projects and as a service provider for business partners. It also promotes young scientists, advises policy and is a driving force in the regions of its 16 sites.
Work at the DLR
The DLR has 7300 employees. It has 32 institutes, testing and operating facilities and is present at 16 sites: Cologne (Headquarter), Augsburg, Berlin, Bonn, Braunschweig, Bremen, Göttingen, Hamburg, Jülich, Lampoldshausen, Neustrelitz, Oberpfaffenhofen, Stade, Stuttgart, Trauen and Weilheim.The DLR has offices in Brussels, Paris and Washington D.C.
In the 2011 financial year, the DLR’s budget for research and operation was EUR 796 million, 55 % of which was third-party funds purchased in competition. The space budget managed by the DLR also amounted to EUR 1.147 million. 65 % of the German contribution to the financing of the European Space Agency ESA, 21 % to the German Space Programme and 14 % to space research in the DLR itself. The project promoter’s funding in the DLR amounted to EUR 1.060 million and the aviation project promoter 164 million euro. The performance of the DLR is based on its highly trained and highly motivated staff who can continuously train in the DLR. Equal opportunities are capitalised. Flexitime, part-time work and specific support measures will ensure that work and family life can be reconciled.
Subject of the project (type and scope of the service):
Deutsche Zentrum für Aerospace e.V. (DLR) intends to purchase a
Remote Eye Gaze Lab for the Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne.
Requirements:
(A) Minimum requirements
Eyetracking technology
Detection: Face Detection, Remote Eyetracking, 4 camera system
Head clearance: at least 75 cm (right/left), 50 cm (before/back), 35 cm (high/lower)
Accuracy: < 0.4° over the entire measuring range
Recording rate: 120 Hz
Data flow: constant in time (without variability), including head movements
Measurement: binocular over the entire headroom (75 x 50 x 35 cm)
Measurement method: Bright pupil
Calibration: Fully automatic at the start of the recording
Eye recording: Fully automated so that there is no need for manual calibration during measurement
Cameras:
High resolution, separately for left and right eyes
Direct access to camera images
Uses: independent (use of different monitor sizes or even without monitors)
Compensation:
partially-included pupils (e.g. older subjects)
non-concentric change in pupil sizes
Output parameters:
— Place of vision and pupil size separately for left and right eyes,
— Fixations, sacadens, blinks,
— 3D coordinates of both eyes,
— 3D coordinates of the place of vision.
Number of individual positions in the system: exactly 8
Software:
Analysis: Fixations
Visual movements
— Sakkaden,
— Blinks.
Videos: Definition and analysis (metrics) of mobile AOIS
Live monitoring:
— Real-time visualisation of the subject screen content with the current subject viewing position on an experimental guide screen;
— Insert self-defined trigger signals in the view motion data stream.
Synchronisation of view data: Between two persons for whom data are recorded in parallel on two devices
(B) Improved additional options
— Synchronisation of Eyetracking data with recording devices of third-party manufacturers using software (e.g. Windows Messages) and hardware interface (e.g. parallel port);
— At least 15 analytical licences for the interpretation of results on additional PCs.
(C) accessories
— Eyetracker (Windows 7.64 Bit) control calculator with recovery system to restore delivery,
— 24’ monitors for subjects and test leaders, at least resolution FullHD (1.920 x 1.080),
— Peripherals (minimum keyboard and mouse).
(C) Other
— Induction course by trained professionals for at least 15 participants;
— At least 2 years of software updates and software upgrades;
— For at least 10 years of unlimited driver support.
The prescribed latest delivery date (including commissioning & acceptance) is 16 October 2013. This date must be respected or, in the event of non-compliance, lead to exclusion from the procurement procedure.
