THE VALIDITY OF A DRIVING SIMULATOR IN EVALUATING SPEED-REDUCING MEASURES
The report discusses a project in which efforts have been made to simulate the impact of a series of measures aimed at reducing the speed of traffic approaching the village of Weiteveen in the Netherlands. The results obtained have been compared with the actual changes in driving behavior that were observed after these measures had been introduced in reality. The validity of this type of simulator experiments carried out with the Daimler-Benz equipment is discussed.
