U.S.-France Cooperative Research (INRIA): Driving Simulation

这一为期三年的奖项支持爱荷华大学的Joseph Kearney和James Kremer以及法国雷恩信息与随机系统研究所(ISIA)的Stephane Donikian之间的美法合作研究。IRSA隶属于INRIA，这是法国国家信息学和应用数学研究所。本研究的目的是研究用于模拟大规模虚拟驾驶环境的场景和场景建模。这些计算机模拟有助于研究驾驶行为，并就药物和疾病的影响、计算机辅助驾驶辅助的有效性以及新的车载技术的影响进行实验。爱荷华大学和爱丽莎大学的团队已经独立开发了适用于农村和城市环境的驾驶模拟器。他们的工作分别得到了美国和法国政府以及福特(在美国)和雷诺(在法国)的支持。他们在系统构建、动态仿真和控制程序设计方面拥有广泛和互补的专业知识。该项目将促进虚拟样机知识和计算机工具的开发，以了解坠机和预防坠机。

This three-year award supports US-France cooperative research among Joseph Kearney and James Kremer at the University of Iowa and Stephane Donikian at the Institute for Research in Informatics and Random Systems (IRISA) in Rennes, France. IRISA is affiliated with INRIA, which is the French National Institute for Research in Informatics and Applied Mathematics. The objective of the research is to investigate scene and scenario modeling for simulating large-scale virtual driving environments. These computer simulations are useful for studying driving behavior and conducting experiments on the influence of drugs and disease, the effectiveness of computer-assisted driving aids, and the impact of new in-vehicle technology. The University of Iowa and IRISA groups have developed independently driving simulators for rural and urban environments. Their work is supported by US and French governments respectively and Ford (in US) and Renault (in France). They have extensive and complementary expertise in system building, dynamic simulation and control programming. The project will advance knowledge of virtual prototyping and the development of computer tools for understanding crashes and crash prevention.
