The Quarter Cab miniSim has an anodized aluminum chassis with carpet, dashboard, wheel, pedals and driver controls that accurately mimic a real car from the driver’s perspective. It's perfect for mid-budget research institutes who require greater realism.
Contents
miniSim™ Driving Simulators
The miniSim™ is a PC-based driving simulator. The software and hardware have been developed by the University of Iowa Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI), home of the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS), to facilitate a wide variety of research applications.
Every effort has been made to build and deliver a high-value, reliable, simulator system. An added benefit is that all the software tools are the same tools used by DSRI staff on a daily basis for conducting driving and related research. This ensures a deep knowledge base, ongoing support, and continuous improvement by users who understand your research needs. Our software tools are available at no charge and deliver flexible, high performance simulation technology in any cab configuration.
miniSim™ Software and PC
The software delivered with all miniSim simulators consists of the following tools:
- The Tile Mosaic Tool (TMT) for assembling a road network from a library of 95 road/landscape segments called ‘Tiles’. You use the TMT to connect them together, control LODs, and export a complete database to the ISAT and miniSim. DSRI can also create new tiles or modify existing ones to meet your specific needs.
- The Interactive Scenario Authoring Tool (ISAT) for building scenarios on the assembled database. The ISAT is windows-based and does not require scripting.
- The miniSim runs the scenario on the assembled database and provides both real-time measures and a comprehensive data acquisition file for post-processing in Matlab.
- The nDaqTools are DSRI-design interfaces for Matlab to define the measures to be calculated, and to organize and control the data reduction process.
The typical miniSim™ PC hardware specification is as follows:
- Tower case
- Windows 10 Pro
- ASUS ASRock X99X Killer Motherboard
- Intel Core i7 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
- 2 SSD in RAID (500 Gb ea, 500 Gb usable)
