“…The literature has already noted the relationship between simulator fidelity and the effectiveness of training delivered on simulators [16]. Functional fidelity focuses on replicating situations that could occur in a natural system [17]. Behavioral fidelity, on the other hand, focuses on mimicking real-social human interactions and reactions [18].…”

This paper presents a concept for a universal tram driver console that has been developed based on research results regarding the review of tram control panels. These efforts were carried out as part of the project “Innovative training system for tram drivers, based on a full-cab simulator with the application of cognitive science” POIR.01.01.01-00-0135/22, with funding from the Smart Growth Operational Programme. This project involves the development of a tram driver training system based on a full-cabin tram simulator mounted on a motion platform, integrated with eye-tracking technologies and skin conductance response analysis for tram drivers’ assessment. The presented research results regarding the development of a universal control panel structure for a tram simulator have led to the creation of a panel based on interchangeable panels. The arrangement of individual switches was determined based on the identification, selection, critical evaluation, and analysis of data from current solutions.

“…De Winter's research (de Winter, 2009) shows that performance in a driving simulator can have predictive validity on the practical driving test, and on the number of lessons required to be ready for the test. Their relatively low correlations may have been due to the fact that they focused on performance at the control level (e.g.…”

Summary: This paper describes the mindset at the start of a three year project to develop a test on a driving simulator. It reviews the literature, presents background information on driver training simulators and their relation with assessment. It then introduces some of the ideas behind this project, the adaptive cognitive model that will be used, as well as the interoperable assessment module we will develop.

“…Such observations imply that low-fidelity simulators may be preferable. For example, Lee (2004) argued that the pursuit of higher levels of fidelity in simulators may be counterproductive because it can increase SS: "In fact, low-fidelity simulators or simulators that intentionally distort the driving experience may be more effective than those that strive for a veridical representation of the driving environment" (cited in: de Winter (2009)). Although this conclusion might apply in certain cases, such as studies on transfer-of-training (Liu et al 2008), it is problematic for studies on CS, because minimization of overall SS also minimizes SCS.…”

A meta-analysis of simulator sickness as a function of simulator fidelity

Driving simulators are an increasingly important tool to develop vehicle functionalities and to study driver or passenger responses. A major hindrance to the use and validity of such studies is Simulator Sickness (SS). Several studies have suggested a positive relation between improvements in simulator fidelity and the likelihood of sickness. We hypothesized that this relation only holds true for static (fixed-base) simulators, and that increased fidelity in fact reduces simulator sickness in dynamic (moving-base) simulators. We performed a meta-analysis investigating the relation between sickness and fidelity in static and dynamic systems. A literature search yielded a total of 41 simulator studies that varied aspects of mechanical and/or visual fidelity and assessed SS for the same driving conditions and the same or equivalent participant groups. Evaluation of a model synthesizing the findings of these studies indicates that SS decreases with visual fidelity, and suggests that this effect may be negated for static simulators. The results of the modeling efforts thereby provide some support for the hypothesis that increased fidelity can reduce SS in dynamic simulators. Based on the evaluation of the literature we also note particular shortcomings and gaps in available research. Finally, we make recommendations for specific experiments that may fill these gaps and allow definitive conclusions on the role of simulator fidelity in SS.
