The study compared driver performance data from a simulated roadcourse in the DOT/FHWA Highway Simulator (HYSIM) to data gathered on actual real-world roadways. Thirty-two subjects from the general driving population participated in the study. Dependent variables were: sign detection and recognition distances, speed, accelerator position changes and steering wheel reversals. Study results show that, in general, the HYSIM measures tested accurately simulate real-world conditions and simulated data can be safely generalized to real-world situations.
