Summary on Grant Application Form |

DAVID-F will investigate the feasibility of constructing a laboratory testing facility which will allow the research team to investigate the interactions between people and the interior infrastructure of a moving vehicle. Such a facility will need to incorporate the ability to provide complex multiple-dimension acceleration forces and suitable visual cues to convince people a inside the quipment that they are inside a moving vehicle. DAVID-F is intended to produce the basic design for the equipment so that a baseline for its cost can be established prior to generating a proposal for the full research project. DAVID-F will start by reviewing the literature on the dynamics of moving vehicles, the analysis of these forces, the simulation of moving vehicles and the ways in which people currently move around inside moving vehicles. With a clear picture of the users' needs and the physical effects to be modelled, the research will then turn to the development of the mechanics required to reproduce these circumstances inside a 'stationary' laboratory facility and the production of an initial,-design that could be used for the tendering process in the full DAVID project. Finally, this design will be costed so that a-suitable figure can be included in the DAVID proposal.
