The University of Leeds Driving Simulator (UoLDS) is the U.K’s most advanced such research facility. It allows the observation and analysis of driver behaviour in a repeatable, controlled and safe environment. Key features:
• 2.5t payload, eight degree of freedom motion system creating realistic inertial cues of cornering, braking and road roughness.
• 5 m by 5 m motion table with up to 0.6 g acceleration
• Full-scale Jaguar S-type vehicle cab housed within a 4m diameter spherical projection dome.
• Seeing Machines faceLAB v5.0 stereo eye-tracker allowing the recording of many eye-related variables of both driver attention and driver state.
• Image projection system of eleven different visual channels covering a fully immersive, seamless wrap-around display.
• Kinaesthetic feedback through pedal feel and steering wheel loading.
• Realistic binaural acoustics of engine, transmission and environmental noise.
