Resum

The Automobile Laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials of the Technical University of Valencia, Spain, initiated a research program to help disabled drivers select the best vehicle control adaptation and drive with the same level of safety and comfort as an able-bodied driver. Researchers at the university were engaged in the design of several simulators-evaluators to objectively investigate the abilities of any disabled driver to demonstrate the type of adaptation that was more appropriate to the driver. They realized that was necessary to develop real-time distributed architecture that supported actual requirements. Car simulators were found to meet the requirements of disabled drivers, as they provided the benefits of training and evaluating future drivers before going to the real roads. Some of the characteristics of such a simulator developed by the researchers of the university included an open cockpit and the simulation software with a user-friendly interface.
