Road Safety Simulation Research

Realtime Technologies partners with researchers to create complete SimCore hardware/software vehicle dynamics modeling solutions.  These range from our standard RDS-500 vehicle simulator (designed and built for cost-conscious researchers using off-the-shelf components) to custom mock-up vehicles accurately emulating current or future production vehicles or concepts.

All of the software elements of your road safety simulation solution are controlled through SimCreator, our real-time simulation, and modeling system.  Through its graphical interface, you can easily configure and coordinate the vehicles, dynamics, environments, monitoring, and driver feedback in your simulation even tweaking the simulation as it runs, adding or removing obstacles, adverse weather, and lighting conditions, changing traffic behavior, or manually controlling pedestrians and other vehicles.

SimCreator DX, allows you to define built-in critical events (called “maneuvers“; examples include ambient traffic, ambient pedestrians, animals, freeway, parked car, and bicyclists). The ability to include standard and custom maneuvers in any scenario adds to the realism and tests the driver’s ability to react in serious situations.
