Handbook of Driving Simulation for Engineering, Medicine, and Psychology

A how-to-do-it resource for researchers and professionals, this book brings together discussions of technical issues in driving simulation with broad areas in which driving simulation is now playing a role. Covering basic and advanced topics, the book examines hardware and software selection; visual database and scenario development; independent subject variables; and dependent vehicle, environmental, and psychological variables. It also explores statistical and biostatistical analysis, discusses different types of drivers, reviews existing and future key-in vehicle devices, and describes methods for validation of research.
