National Advanced Driving Simulator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Advanced Driving Simulator at the University of Iowa is the largest ground vehicle driving simulator in the world.
It was developed from 1996 till 2001 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to conduct human factors research on driver's behaviour.
The simulator consists of a dome with a vehicle cab inside. The vehicle is attached to a motorized turntable that allows the dome to rotate and simulate different driving conditions. Large excursions in longitudinal and lateral directions are used to give accelerations and motions cues to the driver inside.
