For this paper a mid-level simulator is defined as one which has a large roadway scene display typically comprising animated computer graphics, it may have a motion system or be fixed base, it should have a dedicated cab with a steering feel system and interactive controls and displays, it has a parametrically configurable vehicle dynamics model, data acquisition is provided for, and the simulator is intended to be used for driver behavior research and vehicle or highway research and development studies.

Initial Graphics Exchange Standard (IGES) is a National Bureau of Standards' sponsored mechanism for exchange of such data.

To meet performance goals in the face of such constraints, high performance processors such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are typically required to run CV models on-board automobiles, creating a major hurdle to the deployment of CV applications.

Features of the system include commercial relational database software for rapid storage and retrieval of acquired data and a high resolution graphics monitor for immediate display of analyzed pressure data. Data integrity checks performed before storage insure data quality.

The driving simulator, called RoadWay, is a three-dimensional computer graphics environment which supports interactive highway design and driving capabilities. The visual preprocessor, RoadVision, receives images from RoadWay, which represent forward-looking views from the cockpit of the simulated vehicle, and encodes these images using a family of oriented two-dimensional Gabor filters.

To investigate the influence of illumination conditions on detection algorithms, we reproduced various illumination intensities in a photo-realistic virtual world, which leverages recent progress in computer graphics, and verified vehicle detection effect there. In the virtual world, the environmental illumination is controlled precisely from low to high to simulate different illumination conditions in the driving scenarios (with relative luminous intensity from 0.01 to 400).

On-screen graphics allow for display of obtained data in tabular or graphical form while it is being acquired.
