Advanced driving simulators are now integral tools for engineers and researchers in various fields, including vehicle design, intelligent highway systems, and studies on human factors such as race driver behaviour under extreme conditions.
These simulators offer a safe and cost-effective environment for conducting controlled, repeatable experiments.
Researchers and engineers believe that the data obtained from these simulations can accurately predict real-world outcomes, enhancing our understanding of the complex interactions between drivers, vehicles, and roadways in critical driving scenarios. Ultimately, the insights gained from these studies are expected to lead to a reduction in traffic-related deaths and injuries on the nation’s highways.
