Abstract
This paper focuses on the assessment component of an interactive driving simulator under development by Concordia University for the Transportation Development Centre (TDC). A primary application of the device is assessment of the readiness of brain-damaged and elderly individuals for re-licensing or on-the-road driver training. The simulator is described as combining microprocessor technology with electrophysiological measurement techniques, this resulting in a low-cost but effective tool with superior measurement provision. Attention is given to the development of appropriate driving scenarios and relevant performance assessment approaches using direct measures of brain function that can be indexed to human information-processing events.
