ABSTRACT
Driving simulators are frequently used for vehicle system development, human factor study, and vehicle safety research by enabling the reproduction of the actual driving environments in a safe and tightly controlled environment. Recent development of powerful desktop computer workstations can now support the computational requirement of small to medium-scale driving simulators. The driving simulator for this research is developed using PC-based workstations that are capable of producing high fidelity graphics at reasonable cost. The VR-based simulator gives a driver on board the impression that he drives an actual vehicle by predicting vehicle motion caused by the driver input and feeding back the corresponding visual, motion, audio and proprioceptive cues to the driver. This research is intended to provide a test bed for simulating driving related task using virtual reality technology.

Numerical Analysis of Tractor Accidents using Driving Simulator for Autonomous Driving Tractor
ICMRE'19: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Mechatronics and Robotics EngineeringAutonomous driving of automobiles is a hot research topic in recent years. The autonomous driving tractor also has been studied in the agricultural field as well as an autonomous driving automobile. On the other hand, tractor accidents frequently occur ...
A heterogeneous traffic virtual-reality simulator to study irritation/anger and driving behavior under adverse conditions
HCI '18: Proceedings of the 32nd International BCS Human Computer Interaction ConferenceTo analyse driver's behaviour in heterogeneous chaotic traffic, simulators are important as experimentation in real traffic is dangerous. Simulators using Virtual Reality HMD provide a 360-degree view enabling almost realistic experience. In our ...
