Assessing dynamics of heavy vehicles in a driving simulator

This article investigates the potential of a motion based driving simulator in assessing and comparing dynamic performance of different heavy vehicles. A driving simulator study with 55 professional truck drivers is performed and the achieved results show a strong correlation between the objective and subjective measures of the different vehicles performance. The motion based driving simulator is used to compare the performance and controllability of high capacity transport vehicles with conventional heavy vehicles.
