-- 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
A high-fidelity audio system is installed inside the truck cab generating the sound of the vehicle and the environment.
The Simplified Cab, Quarter Cab, and Custom miniSims provide large fields 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...
