DriveSafety’s DS research driving simulators allow researchers to create custom driving scenarios leveraging an extensive library of roads, intersections, cultural surroundings, traffic vehicles, pedestrian and other entities. Users can easily define environmental and traffic conditions, including triggered events and behaviors for the driver to experience or respond to during the drive. The driving simulators also provide powerful, flexible data collection tools that allow researchers to tailor performance measures and data capture to the needs of their study. Fields of use include traffic safety, vehicle and roadway design, driver distraction, human interface design, driver assistance and information systems, and a variety of psychology, human factors and health sciences topics.
