University of Cambridge and Ansible Motion collaborate on driver behavior research project
Ansible Motion, manufacturer of driver-in-the-loop (DIL) simulators, and the University of Cambridge’s Engineering Department (CUED) are working together in support of a PhD study into human driver behavior, funded by Toyota Motor Europe.
The industry-academia partnership has set out to compare novice and expert drivers’ steering behavior during extreme vehicle maneuvers, in order to reveal distinct learning patterns and control styles.
The simulator
The Delta S3 DIL simulator that will be used in the study features a patented six-degree-of-freedom Stratiform motion system and wrap-around projection graphics, which creates an immersive environment for collecting precise data on driver responses.
