Lecture: Future of Vehicle Simulators
Edward J. Haug, Jr., a pioneer in the development of
vehicle simulators, will present the latest developments
in the simulator industry - with applications for
both military and civilian vehicle design - in a lecture
at the National Science Foundation (NSF) on May 23.
Haug will discuss research on the recently completed
$80 million National Advanced Driving Simulator, a
system that can simulate the experiences of driving
both civilian and military vehicles under a variety
of road conditions (including bumps and spin outs).
Haug will also discuss several recent experiments,
including interactive military vehicle simulations
that link researchers at Army facilities in Michigan
to the new driving simulator in Iowa.
