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.
