Behavioural research in an advanced driving simulator : experiences of the VTI system. Reprint from proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergononics Society 37th Annual Meeting, October 11-15, 1993, Seattle, Washington, USA, p. 612-616.

This report is about behavioural research in an advanced driving simulator. The VTI driving simulator is described briefly, and aspects such as controllability, realism, validity, and motion sickness are discussed. The experience of using a simulator is discussed. As an example, a study of mobile phone effects on driver behaviour is reported, focusing on methodological aspects. The paper ends with an extensive literature list containing behavioural studies performed in the simulator. (A)
