  • A validation of the Oregon State University driving simulator

    Creator:
    Brown, Lacy S.
    Abstract:
    Driving simulation is widely accepted as a safe, effective, and economical alternative for investigating driver behavior in a variety of contexts. However, in order to apply simulator-based research results to real-world settings, the performance measures acquired through simulated driving experiments must first be validated. This research was aimed at validating...
