Abstract
Simulation offers a cost-effective way to conduct research on collision avoidance and accident prevention. To be
effective, simulated performance must be a valid measure of real world performance. This project sought to validate
real world driving performance based on the performance of individuals driving in simulation.
The study presents performance data on 14 male and 12 female volunteer subjects who drove a route adjacent to the
University of Minnesota campus and then performed in a similar computer-generated driving route. Generally, subjects
reported the simulated driving test comfortable and realistic; performance and characteristics of driving in the simulator
closely paralleled the real world; the qualitative pattern of driving was similar; and errors and the control parameters
of driving performance suggested acceptable reliability between both driving worlds. Researchers concluded that the
simulator performed reliably and provided a valid set of performance data that could be used to better understand
driving behavior, especially as it related to accident prevention and collision avoidance.
