Build Virtual Environments - Using OpenGL we construct 3D models of driving environments (city streets, rural roads, and Interstate highways).

Develop and Implement Scenarios - Scenarios are events that are embedded in a driving environment.  A pedestrian walking in front of your car is a simple example.

Measure Driver Performance - Each scenario may have unique measures of driver performance.  For example, executing a left turn may include gap acceptance as well as deviation from an ideal path.

Design and Develop Driving Simulators - Driving simulators range from the simple to the extremely complex.  Of importance, is the validity of the simulator with reference to your goals.


Our Sister Laboratory:   The Intelligent Human-Machine Systems Laboratory has the capability to record driver eye movements and driver emotional states based on unobtrusive physiological measurements.
