Motion cueing in driving simulators for research applications
… investigated the perception of self-motion in driving simulation, focussing on the dynamic cues produced by a motion platform. The study was undertaken in three stages, evaluating various motion cueing techniques based on both subjective ratings of realism and objective measures of driver …

UniNet: A mixed reality driving simulator
Driving simulators play an important role in vehicle research. However, existing virtual reality simulators do not give users a true sense of presence. UniNet is our driving simulator, designed to allow users to interact with and visualize simulated traffic in mixed reality. It is powered by SUMO …

Development of a simulation-based platform for autonomous vehicle algorithm validation
Developing robust algorithms for autonomous driving typically requires extensive validation and testing with physical hardware platforms and increasingly requires large amounts of diverse training data. The physical cost of these hardware platforms makes eld testing prohibitive, and the cost of …

Approximations for Nonlinear Differential Algebraic Equations to Increase Real-time Simulation Efficiency
Full-motion driving simulators require efficient real-time high fidelity vehicle models in order to provide a more realistic vehicle response. Typically, multi-body models are used to represent the vehicle dynamics, but these have the unfortunate drawback of requiring the solution of a set of …

An Electromechanical Synchronization of Driving Simulator and Adaptive Driving Aide for Training Persons with Disabilities
… allow participation in a social life. Sometimes driving a normal car is impossible for individuals with severe disability and they require additional driving aide. However, it is dangerous to send these individuals on the road without giving them special training on driving vehicles using an …

Development and Demonstration of Scalable Methods for Research on Human Factors in Driving
… that sufficient attention is directed to the driving task, our research understanding of detailed relationships between driving task complexity, in-vehicle and off-road distractions, and driving performance remains limited. Part of this limitation is due to inherent challenges of carrying out …

Identification Of System Design Features That Affect Sickness In Virtual Environments
… used to display the simulated environment. While simulators and VR devices may offer advantages such as low cost training, numerous studies on the effects to humans of exposure to different VEs indicate that motion sickness-like symptoms are often produced during or after exposure to the simulated …

Using Eye Tracking Technology To Compare Hazard Detection On Road Versus Driving Simulator At Night Across Two Age Groups
… exists that demonstrates the validity of using driving simulation compared to on-road driving, few studies have examined hazard detection between two driving conditions. Even fewer studies have specifically examined hazard detection at night. Results of current research regarding age differences …

A Systematic Investigation into Induction and Mitigation Methods of Motion Sickness in Passengers of Automated Vehicles
… Levels 3 through 5. As passengers engage in non-driving related tasks (NDRTs) inside a moving vehicle, they experience limited vehicle control and external awareness. Such conditions can lead to passengers becoming motion sick. Since two out of three passengers are prone to motion sickness, even …
