Driving simulations are not easy to use for some users due to motion sickness, difficulties in adopting to a virtual environment. We have gathered diverse results for 10 drivers with different characteristics to be discussed in this study. This research results are crucial for training drivers and obtaining insight on a driver’s behavior and characteristics. Matlab R2016b was used to analyze the data obtained from experiment. 10 volunteers ranging from ages 19 - 37 participated in the virtual reality driving experiment. To make the driving simulation environment more realistic, the HTC Vive Virtual reality headset, powered by Steamvr, was used. The theoretical framework of this driving simulation has been designed using the Unit圓D game engine (5.4.0f3 version) and programmed by the C# programming language. This paper provides new insights regarding a driver’s behavior, techniques and adaptability within a driving simulation using virtual reality technology. The driving simulator was used to assist novice drivers in learning how to drive in a very calm environment since the driving is not taking place on an actual road.
Virtual reality technology is now a promising alternative to the conventional driving simulations since it provides a more simple, secure and user-friendly environment for data collection. One of the great interests in recent research is to characterize a driver’s behaviors through the use of a driving simulation. Driving a vehicle is one of the most common daily yet hazardous tasks.
