Application

By means of its simulators the institute has investigated for example how new technology, sound and vibrations affect driving. The driving simulators have also been used in the planning of Stockholm's traffic system, among other things to determine where signs should be located and how the surroundings should be designed.

Areas of application

The transport sector is facing great challenges and VTI's driving simulators are an important resource in the work of improving infrastructure, traffic and transportation. They can for example be used for:

product and system development
road design
developing new car concepts, e.g. electric cars
research on behaviour and evaluating safety
functions for collision situations.

Studies

Below a selection of simulator studies carried out in VTI's simulators is presented. Some of these studies are subparts of a larger project while others are the main activity of the funding project.
