Review on the Application of Driving Simulators for Research and Training Activities in Malaysia

Article Preview

Abstract:

Driving simulators (DS) are extensively used worldwide as tools in research and training related to driving behaviour and road safety. However, DS have yet to be used extensively in Malaysia. While there is no guarantee that the use of DS may have direct positive impact on road safety, it offers an objective and insightful opportunity to measure and understand driving behaviour. This is especially relevant in Malaysia as it struggles to reduce the high number of fatalities due to road crashes. This paper reviews the role of simulators in research and training worldwide to better understand the driving behaviour and how Malaysia can benefit from useful tool.
