The paper describes the development, operation, and use of the UMTRI driving simulator. The low-cost system consists of a Commodore 64 computer, a projection video display, and a full-size vehicle mockup. The simulator shows a single-lane road at night and allows for recording of steering error at rates of up to 10 Hz. At lower sampling rates performance can be recorded for up to two hours. The simulator has been used in a variety of human factors experiments to occupy people's attention while they concurrently do other driving-related tasks such as reading highway signs, reading instrument panel displays, and responding to brake lamps of leading vehicles. Those applications are described in detail. Based on that experience, the qualities desired in a driving simulator are identified. It is clear that ease of use, low operational cost, and supporting interchangeable input and output devices were more important than providing a high fidelity simulation of the road scene or vehicle dynamics.
