Abstract (2. Language):
Vehicle operation simulations have a range of potential applications in research, development,
training and certification/licensing. The extent of the applications will depend on the realism, validity
and cost of the simulations. Advancements in PC (personal computer) and associated technologies
are dramatically reducing cost of creating realistic virtual environments. Increased understanding of
the computational requirements in simulating the vehicle operator’s in simulating the vehicle
operator’s tasks allows enhancing the realism and validity of the sensor environment provided to the
human operator. This paper discusses the general components and requirements for vehicle operation
simulations, and the issues that influence the realism and validity of the sensory environment. two
examples are described of low cost PC based simulations. The first example is driving simulator that
has been used in a range of research, development and driver evaluation applications. The second
example is a flight simulator for training parachute jumpers that includes realistic manoeuvring
characteristics and also can represent deployment malfunctions.
