Abstract

The UCF (University of Central Florida) driving simulator housed in the Center for Advanced Transportation Systems Simulation is an I-Sim Mark-III system with a high driving fidelity and immense virtual environments. The UCF driving simulator provides a research platform for multi-disciplinary investigations in the traffic engineering area. This paper describes several simulator studies that aimed at enhancing the quality of traffic safety and operation, including measuring drivers' minimum gap acceptance at stop-controlled intersections, analyzing the effects of dynamic sight distance problem on traffic safety, evaluating a pavement marking countermeasure for reducing red-light running, and assessing the safety benefits of variable speed limits. © 2008 ASCE.
