ViP Driving Simulation Centre has established an attractive environment for co-operation and competence development as well as for sharing and exchanging knowledge and experience in the field of real-time human-in-the-loop simulation. Hosted by VTI, ViP has successfully introduced driving simulation in research and product development by developing and providing high quality tools, methods and open software. The resulting competence and simulation platform is used by various actors for innovation and development of future vehicle functions, infrastructure, and transport system solutions by applying advanced driving simulation.

To jointly work on the development and application of driving simulator methodology together with people from different organisations and disciplines has been very inspiring and fruitful in ViP says Lena Nilsson at the SAFER partner VTI, and the Director of ViP and leader of the competence area Driving Simulator Applications in SAFER. In my mind model-based development and use of virtual environments to involve end-users already in the conceptual phase will be key factors in the future. The interaction and joint activities with SAFER have also been very valuable for ViP, and SAFER partners can continue to get access to the developed competence and the ViP platform (VTI simulators) in coming projects. We look forward to collaborative projects in the future concludes Lena.
