THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER-AIDED DRIVING SIMULATOR USED FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF ROAD GEOMETRIC DESIGN

A COMPUTER-AIDED PERSPECTIVE DRAWING DEVICE WAS DEVELOPED IN 1966 TO ENABLE THE HIGHWAY DESIGNER TO EXAMINE THE APPEARANCE OF HIS PLAN FROM THE DRIVER'S POINT OF VIEW. A FURTHER DEVELOPMENT, PERSPECTIVE PLOTTING, GIVES DYNAMIC IMAGES ACCORDING TO DRIVER ACTIONS SUCH AS SPEED CHANGES, BRAKING, AND TURNING. A DESCRIPTION OF THE METHOD AND OF THE EQUIPMENT USED IS PROVIDED. USE OF DRIVER RESPONSE MEASURES SUCH AS GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE, RESPIRATION, AND PULSE TO SIMULATE DRIVER FATIGUE IS PROJECTED.
