UB researchers used a virtual reality driving simulation to study how driving anxiety affects young drivers’ attention, emotions and decision-making in complex traffic.
The Transportation Research and Visualization Laboratory continue to expand its advanced driving simulation capabilities to support cutting-edge autonomous vehicle research.
Marianne Sullivan, special programs manager, supports ISTL by coordinating high-impact initiatives that connect research and leadership to advance the institute’s mission.
Alicia Maxwell, outreach coordinator, collaborates with the Institute of Sustainable Transportation Laboratory to promote faculty and student research.
Transportation Research and Visualization Laboratory s virtual environments allow drivers to practice maneuvers, study vehicle handling, and explore human factors in a safe and traffic-free setting.
