DEARBORN, MI—Ford recently upgraded its Virtual Test Track Experiment (VIRTTEX) simulator with improved image rendering technologies and capabilities to study driver performance, helping in the development of safety and driver aid technologies.
VIRTTEX has helped in the development of heads-up displays, drowsy driver alerts and lane departure warning technology, soon to be available on the Ford Fusion.
Ford is the only North American automaker with a “high-fidelity”, motion-based simulator featuring a spherical dome on top of a hydraulic system to mimic vehicle movement. The simulator was developed in 2001.
Upgraded image rendering technologies now provide a high-resolution, digitally projected 360-degree horizontal field-of-view to test and measure driver acceleration, braking and steering performance as well as overall driver reactions in varying conditions.
