Abstract

Simulators are games that give a sense of realism and simulate of the real world in a virtual world, such as racing games or serious medical training games. These have been widely documented to have positive effects on the specific technical skills training on their respective field of users. However, in the area of simulators for driving education, there has been a lack of a comprehensive survey which encompasses the various contributions in this area. In this paper, we fill that gap by providing a review of previous work in literature that focuses on driver’s education using simulators. In addition, we include also works on Artifical Intelligence (AI) and Computational Intelligence (CI) in games that could be used to enhance the project and the effects of implementation of virtual reality in such studies.
