This Sprinter van conversion with a driving simulator is a collaboration with a local research university. This project focuses on studying the effects of cannabis and controlled substances on driving abilities. The van allows researchers to conduct extensive offsite meetings with participants in various locations, even allowing them to stay in the comfort of their own homes. Blood tests and urine sampling can be done inside the van in order to analyze quantitative factors of impairment, helping the researchers better understand physical and mental states of drivers under the influence.

Driving simulators are an essential tool for understanding the complexities of driver behavior, especially in scenarios where real-world testing could pose significant risks. Universities, research institutions, and private companies rely on these simulators to gather data in a controlled environment. This information is crucial for improving public safety, developing policy recommendations, and refining educational programs on impaired driving.
This van takes research to the next level by being fully mobile and self-sufficient. Key features include:
At ADF Sprinters, we take pride in building innovative custom van solutions for diverse industries. Whether you’re a researcher, educator, or private organization, we can design a mobile unit tailored to your specific needs, just like this van driving simulator.
