Scenario Building
At the heart of the STISIM Drive Research Suite is the Scenario Definition Language (SDL). SDL is an easy-to-use scripting language that allows for user designed roadway environments and driving situation events:
Define intersections, vehicles, pedestrians, traffic control devices, buildings, flora and fauna.
Intelligent, programmable traffic and pedestrians to present hazardous situations.
Uses highway specifications to define roadway profiles, including curvature and transitions, cross sectional slopes, etc
Driver assessment tasks include car following, divided attention, pedal reaction times and many more
User definable data collection including vehicle dynamic states, timing, distances, collision statistics, traffic infractions
The STI Advantage
Open and Flexible
Users can interface with STISIM Drive using programming languages like C++ to create custom applications or expand the driving simulator’s functionality using STISIM Drive expansion modules:
Open Module
Integrate custom hardware and write custom source code modules that can be plugged into the STISIM Drive® simulation loop. Use standard C#, C++, VB, and other Windows® COM compliant languages.
VDANL Drive®
Comprehensive vehicle dynamics capabilities using a composite slip tire model that simulates virtually all driver induced maneuvering up through spin-outs and rollovers. Simulates performance of passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs.
DUI Module
Specify a BAC or have the driving simulator software compute BAC based on driver’s gender, age range, body size, number of drinks and drinking time. Adds realistic time delays to the driver’s inputs and simulates tunnel vision effect that occur at higher BAC levels.
