The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is seeking applications for pilot studies utilizing the UAB Driving Simulator—a state-of-the-art facility that combines expertise from researchers from a wide variety of scientific disciplines across campus.

The UAB Driving Simulator is located at 916 19th Street and consists of a Honda Pilot SUV, wrap-around video displays that can simulate a wide range of realistic driving scenarios, equipment for eye-tracking and monitoring of attention and performance, and the potential to incorporate other measurements such as EEG.

Investigators from the Schools of Engineering, the School of Health Professions and the College of Arts and Sciences – with support from several other Schools – have obtained funding from the UAB Strategic Investment Fund to support pilot studies or clinical initiatives. The goal of this pilot program is to develop a mix of research and clinical activities that can eventually support the Driving Simulator as a core resource for the UAB community.”
