Abstract

Carnegie Mellon Research Institute is presently involved in the design and development of an Advanced Human Factors Research and Driver Training Research Facility with the objective of improving driver, vehicle and road safety. Human factors interests include developing countermeasures for fatigue and driver/vehicle interface issues. Driver training issues include validating the usefulness of simulators for driver training, developing effective curricula and investigating simulator fidelity needed for effective training. A key component of the facility is an Advanced Multi-Vehicle Simulator (AMVS) that will be capable of simulating a variety of commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles using interchangeable, reconfigurable cabs/bodies mounted to a common motion platform. The AMVS modular configuration will allow for rapid and cost effective design of experiments and training scenarios. The simulator design concepts and research capabilities are discussed. For the covering abstract see ITRD E116488.
