The Drivotrainer was an automobile driving simulator promoted by the Aetna Insurance Company and widely used in driver training classes. [1]As an automobile insurer since 1902, Aetna had a financial interest in promoting highway safety.
It was a serious educational street driving simulator that used 3D polygon technology and a sit-down arcade cabinet to simulate realistic driving, including basics such as ensuring the car is in neutral or parking position, starting the engine, placing the car into gear, releasing the hand-brake, and then driving.
The chassis dynamometer is designed to add the sum of all the forces that are applied to a vehicle when driven on an actual road course to be simulated through the tires and calculated in the test results. Increasing air drag with the speed on the road manifests as increasing braking force of the vehicle wheels.
The EPA Federal Test Procedure, commonly known as FTP-75 for the city driving cycle, are a series of tests defined by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to measure tailpipe emissions and fuel economy of passenger cars (excluding light trucks and heavy-duty vehicles).
G2 licences are kept for 12 months and then he/she can take the G2 exit test, which tests highway driving as well as city driving skills. A G2 licence holder is subject to a new set of restrictions , which are more relaxed than those for the G1 licence: The driver must maintain a BAC of zero, and if the licence holder is 19 years of age or ...
rFpro, originally rFactor Pro, is a driving simulation software used by racing teams and car manufacturers for advanced driver-assistance systems, self-driving cars and vehicle dynamics. rFactor Pro was created in 2007 as a project of a F1 racing team, using Image Space Incorporated's rFactor as a codebase.

The Cognitive Research Corporation Driving Simulator (CRCDS) is a PC-based [1] driving simulator used to test the effects of various factors (such as age, trauma, neurologic disease, alcohol and fatigue) on driving performance. The CRCDS software is ported from the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS). [2]
TORCS (The Open Racing Car Simulator) is an open-source 3D car racing simulator available on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, AmigaOS 4, AROS, MorphOS and Microsoft Windows. TORCS was created by Eric Espié and Christophe Guionneau, but project development is now headed by Bernhard Wymann. [2] It is written in C++ and is licensed under the GNU GPL.
