Image 2

artist rendition of the National Advanced Driving Simulator

The NSF Center for Virtual Proving Ground Simulation helped create the simulation technologies that led to the National Advanced Driving Simulator, developed and owned by the U.S. DOT/National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and operated by The University of Iowa. The motion of the device provides realistic motion cues to drivers during certain vehicle maneuvers.

one of the National Advanced Driving Simulator cabs

Four National Advanced Driving Simulator cabs are available for public use: a Malibu, a Taurus, a Jeep Cherokee, and a Freightliner. These cabs can be reconfigured to represent other existing or futuristic vehicles that provide drivers with realistic feedback in response to driver inputs, vehicle motions, wind loading, and tire/road interactions. The picture shows the Jeep cab in the dome.

The simulation development module

The National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS) fixed-bay simulator, the simulation development module (SDM). The SDM supports development and testing of experimental procedures and protocols and the integration of new technology into the simulation environment or new in-vehicle technology into NADS cabs. The picture shows the Freightliner cab in the dome along with a partial view of the 120-degree field-of-view screen in the SDM.
