The Study of Driving Simulator Validation for Physiological Signal Measures

Abstract

The current research aimed at validating the driving simulator from Beijing University of Technology in order to verify its usefulness in simulated experiment study based on the physiological signals. Researchers often account for behavioral validation through comparing speed and lane position of field and simulator. In this study, the authors compared the subjects’ electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram of field and simulator. Results showed that driving simulation is absolutely effective in straight sections and large radius corners sections, and the index does not need to be calibrated, the data can be used as the experimental results. Otherwise, it is necessary to calibrate the index.
