University of Iowa to investigate the effectiveness of ESC in heavy trucks

National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS), the research and teaching unit of University of Iowa College of Engineering is currently conducting a study investigating the extent to which heavy trucks can benefit from ESC systems. With this purpose, NADS has recruited over 80 licensed professional heavy truck drivers to participate in the study, which makes use of the high-fidelity truck simulator NADS-1. This is the second study on ESC effectiveness by NADS, with the precedent one analyzing the extent to which an average driver can take advantage of ESC systems.
