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.
