-- miniSim. Big data.
Used by researchers throughout the world in university, corporate, and clinical settings, simulators provide an immersive environment to operate vehicle systems in a safe and repeatable manner. Able to measure performance accurately and efficiently, driving simulators can be used to study a wide range of issues.
A highly flexible PC-based driving simulation system, the miniSim uses the same advanced technologies as those built into more sophisticated simulators at a fraction of the cost. Easily customizable with a small footprint, the miniSim is ideal for research and development.
To provoke a high sense of presence with subjects, the miniSim provides realistic feedback through its high-fidelity audio system and tactile transducer (providing road/engine vibration). In addition, the Simplified Cab, Quarter Cab, and Custom miniSims come with automotive seats, buttons for functions such as headlights and wipers, and a large field of view to immerse subjects in the driving scenarios.
Since its inception, the miniSim has been used in hundreds of research studies in areas such as:
- Vision
- Alzheimer's
- Impairment
- Distraction
- Advanced driver and connected vehicle devices
- Ergonomics
- Human factors
Realistic vehicle dynamics ensure that both driver responses (inputs) are realistic and that the vehicle data recorded is also realistic. A valuable tool for researchers at universities and private companies across the US and internationally, the miniSim produces repeatable results on a proven system. Users can run their own dynamics models...
