We investigate the effect of linguistic complexity on cognitive load in a dual-task scenario, namely simultaneous driving and language use. To this end, we designed an experiment where participants use a driving simulator while listening to spoken stimuli and answering comprehension questions. Online physiological measures of cognitive load, including the recently established Index of Cognitive...

Computer games are increasingly used for purposes beyondmere entertainment, and current hi-tech simulators can provide quite, naturalistic contexts for purposes such as traffic education. One of the critical concerns in this area is the validity or transferability of acquired skills from a simulator to the real world context. In this paper, we present our work in which we compared driving in th...

This paper proposes a virtual driving system for enhancing efficient driving style. We compared fuel economies and levels of consumable wear on three driving simulation test (none, visual, visual+auditory). The test results show that higher fuel economy can be achieved and consumable wear be reduced when they received feedback from the proposed system compared to driving without eco-driving tra...

Different recovery mechanisms are activated during the production from reservoirs. Wells sometimes are kept with the injection. Therefore the evaluation of injection indices depended on material injection, seems to be necessary. This study is going to determine the drive indices for a reservoir by making a model using Eclipse. The model consists a gas cap and aquifer, in which there is an injec...

These last years have witnessed the advent of several high performance driving simulators at automotive companies and universities all over the world as well as a large use of low-cost simulators for a growing number of human factors, vehicle engineering, road traffic, and training applications. The rendering capabilities and applicability of driving simulators thus became a crucial issue both ...

In this paper we examine the requirements for scenario control programming languages and consider approaches for designing textual-based scenario specification languages. By scenario programs, we mean the code that determines what objects are in the simulation environment and how object behaviors are coordinated to produce predictable experiences for the driver in a ground vehicle simulator. Sc...
