Funded Activity Summary

Advanced Driving Simulator for Injury Prevention Research. Tragically road crashes are still the major cause of traumatic death and injury in Australia with an economic and social burden estimated at over $17 billion per year. This internationally recognised research team proposes to use a world leading advanced driving simulator for experimental studies to reduce the carnage and loss on Australian roads. It is vital that Australian researchers are granted access to the highest possible standard of driving simulator technology to facilitate state-of-the-art research that could not otherwise be undertaken on open road settings due to ethical and safety reasons and cost limitations. This advanced driving simulator will support regulations regarding automotive safety.
