The National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS) is featured in Optometry, the journal of the American Optometric Association.
The article, authored by Mark Wilkinson, UI professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences; Tim Brown, senior team leader, cognitive systems engineering, NADS; and Omar Ahmad, director of operations, NADS, describes the capabilities in vision-related research offered by NADS. It reviews the advantages of performing driving research in a high-fidelity driving simulator where the driver can be challenged in ways that could lead to property damage and personal injury if done on a test track or public roadway. Several vision-related studies have been performed at NADS and are summarized in the article.
