A Method of Input Selection for Driver Model on Driving Simulator

A driving simulator study of driver performance on deceleration lanes.

Deceleration lanes are important because they help drivers transition from high-speed lanes to low-speed ramps. Although they are designed to allow vehicles to depart the freeway safely and efficiently, many studies report high accident rates on exit ramps with the highest percentage of crashes taking place in deceleration lanes. This paper describes the results of a driving simulator study tha...

Examination of Driver Steering Adaptation on a Driving Simulator

Driving Simulator and Scenario Effects on Driver Response

Driving simulators are becoming a common research tool for investigating driver behavior in safe, controlled environments. Wide ranges of simulator configurations are available for research—this wide range, as well as and the complexity of the virtual worlds being driven, has not been studied for specific effects on driver response. This study examined driver behaviors in virtual scenarios with...

Survey the effect of texting on driving performances using drivers driving a Simulator

Introduction: There is evidence that driver distraction is one of the major causes of vehicle accidents. One of the key factors that can affect people's driving performance drastically, is texting. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of texting on driving functions using a driving simulator. Methods and Materials: This study was conducted on 80 students ranging fro...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
