As technology has advanced and costs have fallen, the advantages of using simulators to train for safe, economical, and environmentally friendly driving have become more apparent. The need for a driving simulator classification arises from understanding and comparing simulator capabilities and options; however, only a limited number of studies have been conducted related to classification, calling for determination of methods and criteria. In this study, a classification method for driving simulators is proposed by adapting criteria for helicopter flight simulation training devices in which established methods of classification are defined by international and national regulators such as the Joint Aviation Authorities and Federal Aviation Administration. In the proposed method, the level of a simulator is determined by taking general characteristics under consideration, such as motion, visual, and sound systems. Through a case study, the method was applied to determine the class of a specific truck simulator.

Design and simulation of an ABS for an integrated active safety system for road vehicles Şahin, Murat; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) Active safety systems for road vehicles have been improved considerably in recent years along with technological advances and the increasing demand for road safety. In the development route of active safety systems which started with introduction of digital controlled ABS in the late seventies, vehicle stability control systems have been developed which today, with an integration approach, incorporate ABS and other previously developed active safety technologies. ABS, as a main part of this new structure, s...
A new method to measure vehicle pass-by noise in a finite dimensioned semi-anechoic room Arslan, Ersen; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this study, a method to predict vehicle pass-by noise in a finite dimensioned, semi-anechoic chamber with chassis dynamometer has been developed. Vehicle noise has been modeled as the summation of the individual contributions regarding the principal noise components, namely, engine including air intake, front tire and rear tire noises. This method employs wave propagation, Doppler shift, and time delay in the estimation of the sound pressure due to each component at points of interest specified by releva...
Predicting intentions to text and call while driving using the theory of planned behaviour Sullman, M. J. M.; Hill, T.; Stephens, A. N. (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-01) There is extensive evidence that using a mobile phone while driving causes degradation in driving performance, and thereby results in reduced safety on the road. The present study examined intentions to use mobile phones while driving using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). A total of 212 Ukrainian drivers (mean age = 35 years SD =10 years; males = 82%) completed a survey that included measures of the TPB components related to intentions to send or read text messages or to make or receive handheld phon...
An optimizing approach for highway safety improvement programs Ünal, Serter Ziya; Acar, Soner Osman; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) Improvements to highway safety have become a high priority for highway authorities due to increasing public awareness and concern of the high social and economic costs of accidents. However, satisfying this priority in an environment of limited budgets is difficult. It is therefore important to ensure that the funding available for highway safety improvements is efficiently utilized. In attempt to maximize the overall highway safety benefits, highway professionals usually invoke an optimization process. The...
An accelerated aerodynamic optimization approach for a small turbojet engine centrifugal compressor Ceylanoğlu, Arda; Ulaş, Abdullah; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) Centrifugal compressors are widely used in propulsion technology. As an important part of turbo-engines, centrifugal compressors increase the pressure of the air and let the pressurized air flow into the combustion chamber. The developed pressure and the flow characteristics mainly affect the thrust generated by the engine. The design of centrifugal compressors is a challenging and time consuming process including several tests, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses and optimization studies. In this s...
