Proving Ground


Driving Simulator Research Study

 
 

The Transportation Research Center Inc. is conducting a research study for the United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).  The study will evaluate different tools that researchers use to measure distraction caused by in-vehicle technologies and portable devices including cell phones.   

Participants will drive in a driving simulator and perform in-vehicle tasks like using an in-vehicle navigation system or a cell phone.   

If selected, you will be required to come to a laboratory facility located on the Transportation Research Center Proving Grounds in East Liberty, Ohio.   

Participation involves one morning, afternoon, or evening session of approximately 3 hours.  Participants will receive $42 per hour, as well as a monetary travel allowance for mileage to and from the test site for participation.
