11. A Vehicle Dynamics Model for Driving Simulators
    Gómez Fernández, Jorge
    Examensarbete på avancerad nivå, 2012 (Masterarbete)
    Driving simulators play an important role in research concerning mainly human factors and the development of new advanced driver assistance systems. Since the human body is a very sensitive “machine”, driving simulator experiences must be as close as possible to reality, in order to conduct simulator experiments that generate accurate results, so they can be...
