“…W prezentowanych badaniach dzięki restrykcyjnemu podejściu do oceny choroby symulatorowej wykazano stosunkowo wysoki odsetek osób z przynajmniej 1 negatywnym objawem po ekspozycji na symulację (70%). W literaturze wskazuje się na występowanie choroby symulatorowej u 5-50% osób [18,43,44]. Różnica między wcześniejszymi doniesieniami a niniejszymi wynikami może wynikać z prowadzenia badań w trakcie obowiązkowego szkolenia kierowców, co należy uznać za dodatkowy stresor sytuacyjny wpływający na kondycję psy- chiczną i fizjologiczną badanych.…”

Wstęp: Zjawisko choroby symulatorowej jest mierzalne pod względem objawów fizjologicznych. Artykuł prezentuje praktyczne wykorzystanie Kwestionariusza choroby symulatorowej (Simulator Sickness Questionnaire-SSQ) w badaniach poekspozycyjnych wraz z oceną samego narzędzia przez osoby badane. Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzono na symulatorze szkoleniowym pojazdów ciężarowych i autobusów AutoSim AS 1600. Przebadano 130 kierowców uczestniczących w kursach kwalifikacji wstępnej i okresowej dla kierowców w transporcie drogowym. Do badań wykorzystano kwestionariusz SSQ autorstwa Kennedy' ego i wsp. w polskim tłumaczeniu Biernackiego i wsp. (symptomy: mdłości, dezorientacji, zaburzeń okulomotorycznych i wynik ogólny) oraz ankietę oceniającą kwestionariusz SSQ (zrozumiałość i czasochłonność na skali 1-6). Wyniki: W grupie badanej (N = 130) stwierdzono istotne statystycznie różnice w wynikach SSQ. Wśród kierowców młodszych (<29,5 roku) zarejestrowano zwiększone nasilenie symptomów choroby symulatorowej po symulacji (objawy mdłości oraz wynik ogólny), u kierowców starszych (>29,5 roku) − objawów dezorientacji po symulacji. Długość snu i ocena jakości wykonania zadania były istotnie wyższe w grupach bezobjawowych. Wyniki wskazują również na pozytywny odbiór narzędzia przez osoby badane (N = 113)-oceniono czasochłonność jako niską (M = 2,44 na skali 1-6), a zrozumiałość jako wysoką (M = 5,62 na skali 1-6). Wnioski: Uzyskane wyniki wskazują na występowanie objawów choroby symulatorowej nawet w symulatorach wiernie odzwierciedlających ruch kabiny pojazdu. Oceny narzędzia przez osoby badane i poziom zaangażowania w pracę z kwestionariuszem wskazują na jego pozytywny odbiór.

“…Four different scenarios were used to validate the constructed model, namely, accelerating and hard braking, uphill and downhill, sinusoidal steering maneuver, and vehicle dynamic responses when passing a bump. The model validation of the final version of SBVDM was based on the vehicle dynamic model validation in [25,[37][38][39]. The results from SBVDM were compared to UTMVDM, which was validated using ADAMS/Car simulation package [36].…”

The development of complex simulation systems is extremely costly as it requires high computational capability and expensive hardware. As cost is one of the main issues in developing simulation components, achieving real-time simulation is challenging and it often leads to intensive computational burdens. Overcoming the computational burden in a multidisciplinary simulation system that has several subsystems is essential in producing inexpensive real-time simulation. In this paper, a surrogate-based computational framework was proposed to reduce the computational cost in a high-dimensional model while maintaining accurate simulation results. Several well-known metamodeling techniques were used in creating a global surrogate model. Decomposition approaches were also used to simplify the complexities of the system and to guide the surrogate modeling processes. In addition, a case study was provided to validate the proposed approach. A surrogate-based vehicle dynamic model (SBVDM) was developed to reduce computational delay in a real-time driving simulator. The results showed that the developed surrogate-based model was able to significantly reduce the computing costs, unlike the expensive computational model. The response time in surrogate-based simulation was considerably faster than the conventional model. Therefore, the proposed framework can be used in developing low-cost simulation systems while yielding high fidelity and fast computational output.

“…A driving simulator is a sophisticated system to study the vehicle engineering [1], traffics flow [2], and driver behavioral issues [3,4]. Driving simulators were initially designed at full-scale by the car manufacturers [5][6][7] and the authorities of transportation [8][9][10] with which a complex instrumentation system was directly connected to a real car cockpit. Some of the full-scale driving simulators are equipped with large hexapod motion base or huge moving system for lateral and longitudinal motions [9].…”

“…Some of the full-scale driving simulators are equipped with large hexapod motion base or huge moving system for lateral and longitudinal motions [9]. The cost for these full-scale driving simulators was ranged from few hundred thousand to multi-millions US dollars [8][9][10]. This situation has been changing along with the rapid development of personal computer where the highspeed computing power can be available with more affordable cost.…”

Interactive simulation in automotive driving has enhanced the studies of driver behaviors, traffic control, and vehicle dynamics. The development of virtual reality (VR) technology leads to low cost, yet high fidelity, driving simulator become technically feasible. However, a good implementation of high realism and real-time interactive three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment (VE) in an automotive driving simulation are facing many technical challenges such as accessibility, dissimilarity, scalability, and sufficiency. The objective of this paper is to construct a virtual reality system for an automotive driving simulator. The technology with variations of terrain, roadway, buildings, and greenery was studied and developed in the VE of the simulator. Several important technical solutions in the construction of VE for driving simulation had been identified. Finally, the virtual reality system was interactively used in a driver-in-loop simulation for providing direct road elevation inputs to the analysis of vehicle dynamics model (VDM). The results indicated identical matching between the VDM inputs and the VE outputs. The outcomes of this paper lead to a human-in-the-loop foundation of a low-cost automotive driving simulator in the vehicle engineering research.
