Driving simulation software is a type of software that simulates various aspects of driving, such as traffic, road conditions, vehicle dynamics, and driver behaviour. Driving simulation software can be used for driver training and education, as well as for research and development of new technologies and systems for safer and more efficient driving.
One example of driving simulation software is eXpanSIM, developed by Raving Bots, a company based in Poland. eXpanSIM is a modular and customizable software that allows users to create and modify their scenarios, environments, vehicles, and sensors. eXpanSIM can also be integrated with other software and hardware components, such as virtual reality headsets, motion platforms, steering wheels, pedals, and eye trackers.
It can be used for various purposes, such as driver assessment, driver training, driver rehabilitation, driver distraction, driver fatigue, driver workload, driver emotion, driver assistance systems, autonomous driving systems, and human-machine interaction. eXpanSIM can also simulate different types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
One of the advantages of using driving simulation software is that it can provide a realistic and immersive experience for the users, without exposing them to the risks and costs of actual driving. However, driving simulation software cannot fully replicate the complexity and unpredictability of real driving situations. Therefore, it is important to complement driving simulation software with real-life driving simulators, such as Sim 83 - Driving Simulators. It is a state-of-the-art driving simulator that replicates a full-scale vehicle cabin with a 180-degree field of view and a six-degree-of-freedom motion platform. Sim 83 - Driving Simulators can create a high-fidelity and high-performance simulation environment that can enhance the learning outcomes and transferability of the skills acquired from driving simulation software.
