Scenario Building
At the heart of the STISIM Drive Research Suite is the Scenario Definition Language (SDL). SDL is an easy-to-use scripting language that allows for user designed roadway environments and driving situation events:
- Define intersections, vehicles, pedestrians, traffic control devices, buildings, flora and fauna.
- Intelligent, programmable traffic and pedestrians to present hazardous situations.
- Uses highway specifications to define roadway profiles, including curvature and transitions, cross sectional slopes, etc
- Driver assessment tasks include car following, divided attention, pedal reaction times and many more
- User definable data collection including vehicle dynamic states, timing, distances, collision statistics, traffic infractions
Open and Flexible
Users can interface with STISIM Drive using programming languages like C++ to create custom applications or expand the driving simulator’s functionality using STISIM Drive expansion modules:
