[H+T--Friends] TRB Workshop Opportunity

Our friends from the Committee on Simulation and Measurement of Vehicle and Operator Performance (AND30) are working on a workshop concept for the TRB 2014 annual meeting that might be of interest. Below is the working description of the workshop. If anyone has an interest in the workshop or is working in this area please contact Wade Allen (rwallen(a)systemstech.com) directly to discuss your interest and let him know you are with the TRB subcommittee on Health and Transportation. The Simulation Committee is interested in partnering with our subcommittee so this is an excellent opportunity for you to contribute on our behalf. ------------------------- Working Description: The purpose of this workshop is to explore the use of simulators for assessing the deficiencies of drivers with medical conditions and rehabilitating these drivers to overcome their deficits. The application of simulation needs to consider its efficacy relative to driving safety and the influence of related issues such as simulator sickness which detract from its diagnostic and therapeutic value. -- Ed Christopher FHWA Resource Center Planning Team 4749 Lincoln Mall Drive, Suite 600 Matteson, IL 60443 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (C)
