HYPERDRIVE SOFTWARE: KEY TO INNOVATIVE RESEARCH

DriveSafety’s DS research driving simulators are combined with our own HyperDrive Authoring Suite, an advanced scenario authoring tool. The suite allows researchers to create custom driving scenarios leveraging an extensive library of roads, intersections, cultural surroundings, traffic vehicles, pedestrians and other elements along with flexible scripting capabilities. The system also includes powerful real-time data collection and performance monitoring functions users can customize to suit the specific needs of their studies.

SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS

1. Tile-Based, drag and drop Scene Authoring
with extensive library of roadway types, intersections,
cultural surroundings and static and dynamic entities

2. Event & Behavior Triggers that provide time-based,
location-based or conditional-based oontrol

3. Scripting system that allows customization of simulator
functions and performance measures

DS 200

Our Mid-range Research Driving Simulator


Product Description

The DS-200 is a highly capable, fully integrated driving simulation system mounted on an electric lift table and incorporating all key driver controls and cueing systems of the larger DS-250, but without some of its more complete automotive interior components. It does retain the authentic automotive steering wheel, pedals and live instrument cluster with speedometer, turn signals, etc. This system is highly adjustable to fit all sizes of drivers. Physical adjustments include gas and brake pedal assembly that adjusts forward and back; tilt steering wheel that also adjusts forward and back, and electrically adjustable console height.

DS 600

Our Most Advanced Research Simulator


Product Description

The DS-600 is a fully-immersive, high fidelity driving simulation system designed for use in automotive design research, traffic safety studies and a wide range of health and human sciences research. State-of-the-art DS-600 hardware is combined with the industry’s most advanced scenario authoring tools to provide an ideal environment for subject matter experts to create and use purpose-built driving scenarios. Researchers can create their ideal driving laboratory conditions by using our extensive library of roads, intersections, vehicles, traffic patterns and landscapes, then scripting specific actions in order to collect the desired data. See what the University of New Hampshire is doing with the DS-600.


System Highlights

1. Full-width partial or complete automotive cabs with realistic control loading and correct driver ergonomics

2. High-performance out-the-window display options with up to 360-degree horizontal field of view.

3. Inertial-onset motion cueing systems
