Samenvatting
An empirical evaluation of driving simulators is presented, including an analysis of existing simulator equipment and programs; a determination of the research problems associated with an evaluation of simulator effectiveness; and a preliminary study of simulator (Aetna mrivotrainer, a programmed motion picture simulator) teaching effectiveness. Existing driver training programs appeared to give insufficient practice to emergency procedures such as special collision avoidance techniques, and certain driving habits such as maintenance of proper speed.
