Researchers these days are using computer simulations rather than actual testing environments to evaluate driving behavior. Why? For the most part, simulations are more cost effective and safer. However, reliably capturing reality in a simulated environment can be challenging. In an effort to increase the realism of its driving simulator, the Texas A&M Transportation Institute […]

Taking Research Further with the Driving Simulator
At the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI), researchers have the ability to take transportation studies even further using the Institute’s driving simulator. TTI’s portable desktop driving simulator is housed in the Center for Transportation Safety (CTS). The Realtime Technologies, Inc. system uses SimCreator, software that allows researchers to test real-world roadway scenarios. Most simulators (including […]
