“…Research demonstrates that well designed simulators, coupled with adaptation training, can reduce the occurrence of simulator sickness (Brooks et al, 2010;Goodenough et al, 2012). However, more needs to be done in simulator sickness research to enable driving in complex environments, as such assessments are critical for fitness to drive evaluations or for planning successful interventions.…”

“…Moreover, proper adaptation to a driving simulator, a strategy that reduces or eliminates the onset of simulator sickness, combined with appropriate choice of scenarios (e.g., straight drives in simple landscapes) are critical for the driving comfort of any client who uses a simulator. Adaptation thus must be a carefully considered to ensure success for both the client, the assessment or intervention processes and characteristics of the simulator (Goodenough et al, 2012;Yuen et al, 2012). Brooks et al (2010) provide strategies for the set-up of the room where the simulator is housed, as well as a survey tool to use with clients, both of which were used successfully, in reducing the onset of simulator sickness, in their research laboratory.…”

Simulation technology provides safe, objective, and repeatable performance measures pertaining to operational (e.g., avoiding a collision) or tactical (e.g., lane maintenance) driver behaviors. Many occupational therapy researchers and others are using driving simulators to test a variety of applications across diverse populations. A growing body of literature provides support for associations between simulated driving and actual on-road driving. One limitation of simulator technology is the occurrence of simulator sickness, but management strategies exist to curtail or mitigate its onset. Based on the literature review and a consensus process, five consensus statements are presented to support the use of driving simulation technology among occupational therapy practitioners. The evidence suggests that by using driving simulators occupational therapy practitioners may detect underlying impairments in driving performance, identify driving errors in at-risk drivers; differentiate between driving performance of impaired and healthy controls groups; show driving errors with absolute and relative validity compared to on-road studies; and mitigate the onset of simulator sickness. Much progress has been made among occupational therapy researchers and practitioners in the use of driving simulation technology; however, empirical support is needed to further justify the use of driving simulators in clinical practice settings as a valid, reliable, clinical useful, and cost effective tool for driving assessment and intervention.

“…For this study, the distance between the participants' eyes and the center of the middle screen was 112 cm (44 in.). The display provides the participants with a 110˚geometric field of view of virtual space that occurs within approximately 65˚of physical field of view on the screens (Goodenough, Brooks, Pagano, & Evans, 2012). To gradually adapt to driving in the simulator, participants first completed the Lane Keeping Straight Road driving scenario.…”

Occupational therapists are constantly searching for engaging, high-technology interactive tasks that provide immediate feedback to evaluate and train clients with visual scanning deficits. This study examined the relationship between two tools: the VISION COACH™ interactive light board and the Functional Object Detection (FOD) Advanced driving simulator scenario. Fifty-four healthy drivers, ages 21-66 yr, were divided into three age groups. Participants performed braking response and visual target (E) detection tasks of the FOD Advanced driving scenario, followed by two sets of three trials using the VISION COACH Full Field 60 task. Results showed no significant effect of age on FOD Advanced performance but a significant effect of age on VISION COACH performance. Correlations showed that participants' performance on both braking and E detection tasks were significantly positively correlated with performance on the VISION COACH (.37 < r < .40, p < .01). These tools provide new options for therapists.
