Reaction Time Measurement of Simple Driving Simulator for Eldely People and Handicapped Persons

Procedure for improving the ergonomic design of driving positions adapted for handicapped people

Motivated by the absence of guidelines for both adapted control design and installation, the Automobile Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Department (Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain), has begun the study of the ergonomics of handicapped people driving any type of adapted vehicle. By analyzing the reach zones for each type of handicap – and the normal position of vehicle control...

Design and Kinematic Analysis of a 4-DOF Serial-Parallel Manipulator for a Driving Simulator

This paper presents the kinematic analysis and the development of a 4-degree-of-freedom serial-parallel mechanism for large commercial vehicle driving simulators. The degrees of freedom are selected according to the target maneuvers and the structure of human motion perception organs. Several kinematic properties of parallel part of the mechanism under study are investigated, including the inve...

Measurement of Visual Attention and Useful Field of View during Driving Tasks Using a Driving Simulator

The main aim of this work was to obtain a better understanding of drivers’ perceptions of hazard information in selected traffic situations. To contribute to this aim, the relationship between visual attention and the range of the useful field of view was considered by measuring eye movements during simulated driving. Histories (scan paths) of the eye movements were drawn from eye position data...
