THE IOWA DRIVING SIMULATOR : AN IMPLEMENTATION AND APPLICATION OVERVIEW

This paper gives an overview of the Iowa Driving Simulator (IDS) designed to create high fidelity, operator-in-the-loop vehicle simulation and realistic cueing feedback to the driver. The paper refers to a number of human factors issues that are currently being investigated. Focus is on two specific applications of the IDS: a study of Automated Highway Systems (AHS) and vehicle virtual prototyping on a virtual proving ground.
