Research Papers

DriveSafey's customers use its driving simulator systems for a variety of driving research projects that involve psychology, human factors, transportation, gerontology, rehabilitation and pharmaceuticals. Their projects and resulting papers are best found on their personal and/or departmental Web sites or on industry sites related to their various areas of expertise. They are not found here.

What are found below are various research papers that deal with driving research that have been conducted in driving simulators with a special emphasis on clinical and heath care concerns.
