Welcome to the Drive Lab, home of the RDS-1000 Motion Simulator!

RTI’s RDS-1000 Single Seat Simulator includes a real steering wheel with control loaded steering, accelerator and brake pedals, and a customizable virtual dashboard with speedometer and other in–vehicle information. The cab is a one-quarter scale of a Ford Explorer Dash Assembly, which includes three large monitors for the scenery as well as surround sound and a base shaker under the seat. RTI’s SIM Creator Software is Windows based and allows building and running models in a real-time, virtual environment. Click on the arrow below to access the RDS-1000 product specification.

ABOUT THE DRIVE LAB

The DRIVE Lab is a collaboration between the Kentucky Transportation Center’s Traffic and Safety and Planning programs and the University of Kentucky College of Public Health to help reduce crash-related deaths and injuries on Kentucky’s roadways.

The mission of the DRIVE Lab is to conduct high-quality, multidisciplinary driving simulation research that can be translated from the laboratory to driving behaviors and the roadway environment.

Using experimental methodology and innovative technology we aim to develop, test, and implement interventions and countermeasures that will support the overall vision of the DRIVE Lab to help reduce crash-related deaths and injuries.
