Motion Simulation Laboratory

The Motion Simulation Laboratory (MSL) serves researchers educators and training activities associated with modeling and simulation in transportation systems. The MSL is a state-of-the-art facility with simulation capabilities focused in the areas of Transportation Safety, Clinical and Public Health applications, and Education (STEM), Training, and Workforce Development.

The purpose of this event is to promote interdisciplinary collaborations. 

Prospective applications for advanced driving modeling and simulation include:

  • Impact of in-vehicle technologies
  • Effects of drugs and alcohol
  • At-risk (vulnerable) populations
  • Work zone safety analysis
  • Road signs (navigation/distraction)
  • Tire/road surface modeling
  • Human factors/cognition
  • Driver training/education/STEM
  • Road design/geometry
  • Aggressive driving/emotions
  • Vehicle automation
  • Pedestrian/vehicle interactions

Agenda

  • 1 - 2 p.m.: Introduction and advanced overview (Davis 338A)
  • 2 - 3 p.m.: Lunch and collaborative brainstorming (Davis 338A)
  • 3 - 4 p.m.: Facility walkthrough and demonstrations (Furnas 106)
