A driving simulator for training the drivers of emergency vehicles such as fire engines, police cars or ambulances comprises a driver station (40, figure 2), controller (20, figure 1), graphics module (10, figure 1), audio module (12, figure 1), driver input module (14, figure 1), simulated objects module (16, figure 1), and an interaction module (18, figure 1) to create a driving simulation. The driving simulator also includes a reaction module (30, 32, figure 1) which is configured to simulate the reactions of other road users, 54a-d, 62a-c, to a predetermined signal such as flashing blue lights and/or an emergency siren. First and second reaction modules are configured to simulate reactions to the flashing lights and siren respectively, and each module is configured to simulate reactions over different distances. The simulator preferably includes a curved screen (22, figure 2) surrounding the driver station with a plurality of overlapping video projectors (24, figure 2). In a further embodiment, the driver station may include a camera (72, figure 2) directed towards the eye of a user. |
