A summary is given of the enabling technologies for real time high fidelity vehicle dynamics simulation. Methods of utilizing this technology to increase realism in an operator in the loop simulation are then discussed. Finally some of the research that can be performed using a high fidelity, highly realistic operator in the loop simulator is presented. Automotive engineers have long used sophisticated, batch job computer simulations of the dynamics of vehicles and vehicle subsystems to aid them in improving vehicle performance and safety. Recent technological advances have brought high-fidelity vehicle dynamics simulation into a new realm; that of real time.
