Evaluating the effects of motion cues in virtual truck driver training

The use of virtual reality (VR) and realistic real-time graphics has become a critical component in various industries, including aviation. However, the benefits and necessity of full-motion simulators in training remain unclear, especially when considering the fundamental differences between tasks such as flying and driving. This research aims to address the knowledge gap in understanding the effects of motion cues in virtual truck driver training. While studies have been conducted on motion cueing and its effects on training in simulators for different tasks, there is a scarcity of research exploring the impact of motion stimuli on VR-based truck driver training.
