VR Driving Simulator The A.M.O.S. driving simulator is equipped with standard vehicle controls, including turn indicator, column shift, seat belt, and steering wheel surrounded by a 5 CRT screen configuration that produces a 225-degree panoramic field of view outside the "vehicle." Each of the 25-inch screens has a resolution of 512 X 384 pixels. Although the simulator itself does not move, the tactile, visual, and aural feedback create a compelling illusion that the driver is behind the wheel of an actual vehicle. This study investigated the effect of drinking on one's choice to drive and found that legally intoxicated subjects were still willing to drive 33% of the time and that their performance was worse as compared to a control group. www.geocities.com /ergonomicintro/vr.html   (2704 words)

UCF driving simulator   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15) operated a driving simulator which was used primarily for research in simulation and human factors. The original driving simulator was assembled by integrating the various systems for simulating vehicle dynamics, creation of synthetic databases, visualization and traffic management. Despite the considerable amount of work devoted to creating intelligent traffic in the first UCF driving simulator, the effort was abandoned with the acquisition of the new simulator and associated scenario generation software. catss.engr.ucf.edu /misc_documents/SCSC03.htm   (2504 words)

Driving Simulator in a Hospital Environment: Currents: UI Health Care Simulations are safe and have none of the risks of the road or test track. Several studies are combining high-fidelity simulation in the SIREN with neuropsychologic assessment in an effort to standardize the evaluation of fitness to drive in persons with medical impairments. In a simulated environment, it is possible to create information flows to the driver that are unattainable in the real world and that identify specific driver reactions and safety errors in crash avoidance scenarios, a line of inquiry that is hazardous and unethical on the road. www.uihealthcare.com /news/currents/vol3issue1/02drivingsimulator.html   (731 words)

Halfbakery: stick driving simulator Having learned to drive when I was 9 or 10 because we owned a fairly large cattle property, and having driven literally hundreds of different cars whilst I was a repo agent, I now have three vehicles with automatic transmissions. The most daunting thing about learning to drive is learning to use the gearbox and the clutch, so I think that this simulator is an excellent idea, although it would only act as a confidence builder prior to doing it in a real car. I was driving my dads minivan that he bought with the smallest engine and when it blew he replaced it with a even smaller engine. www.halfbakery.com /idea/stick_20driving_20simulator   (1716 words)

UI Researchers Use SIREN Driving Simulator To Study Driving Risk Factors - University News Service - The University of ... "It is not feasible for everyone to have their own driving simulator to test patient's driving abilities, but it is feasible to have paper and pencil tests that correlate well with simulation studies and real accident data. Driving studies are also conducted using an instrumented car called ARGOS (Automobile for Research in Ergonomics and Safety) that is actually driven on the roads. However, Rizzo points out that age itself does not cause risky driving rather it is conditions associated with aging such as decreased attention, decreased vision, decreased mobility and dexterity, and slower reaction times that adversely affect driving. www.news-releases.uiowa.edu /2003/august/082103siren.html   (1312 words)

Tire Model in Driving Simulator In our driving simulator, it is very important to describe the exact behavior of a vehicle in any driving scenario including inclement driving conditions which may require severe steering, braking, acceleration, and other driving related operations. Therefore, in order to simulate the complete vehicle operational range, it is important to properly model tire forces containing the interactions of longitudinal and lateral forces from small levels through saturation. The tire model used in the driving simulator is based on a paper from U.S Department of Transportation [1]. code.eng.buffalo.edu /dat/sites/tire/tire.html   (901 words)

Knowing the predictors and determinants of decline of driving skills are critical to successfully developing intervention strategies that may prevent, delay or minimize the decline of driving skills. www.evms.edu /glennan/driving.html   (284 words)

Elemental Driving Simulator The Elemental Driving Simulator (EDS) is a computer-based quasi-simulator for use by professionals in driver rehabilitation with cognitively at-risk persons (e.g., older drivers, persons returning to driving after a head injury or stroke). The EDS was developed to facilitate a driving advisement process based on objective, norm-referenced measures of the cognitive abilities regarded as critical for driving, including mental processing efficiency, simultaneous information processing, perceptual - motor skills, and impulse control. It addresses the principles and goals of driving advisement, the laws which pertain to driving evaluation in the individual's state, case examples, as well as the specifics of administration and interpretation of the tasks themselves. lifesciassoc.home.pipeline.com /cog/driving/driving.htm   (1353 words)
