Our second configuration consists of a desktop environment including three 19 inch LCD displays and a computer game steering wheel (Logitech Momo Force Feedback). This setup can also be reduced to a portable one screen solution installed on a laptop.

Like with the BMW 350i, the simulator environment is running on three Windows XP PCs with identical hardware configuration (AMD X² 4400+ processors and two Geforce 7800 GTX (SLI) graphic cards).

The STISIM driving simulator environment allows the flexible creation of driving scenarios using an object based scripting language. Dynamic elements like cars or pedestrians can be added and additional experimental tasks can be included in the simulation (like PDT or SAGAT measures). Critical events can be triggered from different sources, including driving behavior and even eye movements. Certain weather conditions like fog or a slippery road can also be simulated. Finally, the open module extension adds additional capabilities for experimental variations or simulations of ITS.
