Driving
Simulator
The DriveSafety DS-600c simulator, a
simulation system research studies have
shown to effectively approximate driving
in the real world, is a fully
integrated, high performance, high
fidelity driving simulation system
designed for use in ground vehicle
research, training and assessment
applications. It provides multi-channel
audio/visual systems, 180°, 240°, 300°,
360° wraparound display options,
full-width automobile cab including
windshield, driver and passenger seats,
center console and dash, full
instrumentation, control loaded
steering, braking and acceleration,
mini-LCD rear-view mirrors, plus
real-time motion simulation through
DriveSafety’s Q-Motion (tm) platform.
With the
DriveSafety DS-600c simulator,
Department of Transportation Studies in
TSU can pursue research opportunities in
key areas including:
1) The assessment of Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS) concepts
2)
Driver preference and acceptance
research
3)
Accident analysis and development of
crash avoidance counter-measures
4)
Design and evaluation of automotive
products and technologies.

Autoscope Van
The Autoscope Van at
ITRI is a state-of-the-art mobile ITS
data collecting system. It is equipped
with two
Autoscope Solo Pro cameras that are
mounted on a 42' telescoping mast. By
connecting with the computer and video
recording equipments in the van, these
two cameras
can simultaneously
process, record and store traffic data.
The Autoscope van
is an effective tool
for collecting on-site, real time
traffic data at any locations
- heavily traveled freeways, busy
signalized intersections, work zones, or
remote rural locations. In addition, it
is a non-intrusive data collection
device - it does not require placing or
installing any equipment in travel
lanes. The Autoscope van will
serve as a platform
for
a wider range of
transportation studies.
