• Innovating Simulation for Transportation Research (Dec 31, 2024)
  For more than half a century, FAAC Incorporated has been at the forefront of high-fidelity simulation, immersing users in lifelike scenarios. This unparalleled experience ensures maximum learning retention and delivers precise data for groundbreaking research.
  
  Realtime Technologies’ driving simulators are turn-key driving simulation platforms for research, training, or automotive product development programs. Our modular, scalable designs allow you to add components to your existing simulator, avoiding the need to replace your entire simulator as your fidelity needs increase.
  
  For the ultimate research driving simulation experience, step into the RDS-2000 Full Cab Simulator. This full-scale cab has all the features you would find in a real vehicle. All the driving components can be linked directly to Realtime Technologies’ software, which provides realistic driver feedback and accurate data collection. The fully instrumented vehicle cabin allows for a more life-like experience that will, in turn, give you the data needed for your research.
  
  For the transit training market, our full-cab simulators are used for workforce development, providing operators with the most effective safety training available today. The FAAC MB 2000 and FAAC TT 2000 provide the highest level of fidelity available, putting the operator at the controls, just like in the real world, and preparing them to do their job safely.
  
  FAAC’s responsive, immersive transportation simulators create vivid virtual environments that have been demonstrated to improve safety through basic skills development, refresher activities, annual certifications, and remedial lessons. FAAC transportation simulator solutions have improved safety performance by more than 60 percent for preventable accidents while decreasing the new-hire washout rate by 35 percent.
  
  New at TRB 2025, we will be showcasing our SimCreator: Modular Sandbox for Research. SimCreator is an endlessly extensible modular sandbox for research with a robust SDK that allows for mixing and matching third-party integrations. It supports a wide range of hardware and software solutions. Users can edit, compile, and run custom vehicle models, as well as other user customizations, as part of the product. User scripts enable integrating third-party components that require bidirectional data transfer through SimCreator. Read/write (get/set) access is provided to data with SimCreator via the user script to support full and rich integration of those components through C++ or Javascript code.
  
  Also, at our booth, we will be featuring integrated eye tracking. Realtime and Smart Eye are teaming up to enhance the accuracy of eye-tracking data in research simulators. The collaboration will bring new levels of automation and precision to driving research while reducing data processing requirements. See more information on this in Smart Eye’s recent press release showcasing our partnership.
  
  Come by booth #924 and see our innovative simulation solutions for transportation research and training.
