ViP Driving Simulation Centre is a joint initiative by VINNOVA and the ViP partners. From a VTI perspective, the thought of attracting and co-ordinating Sweden’s competence and resources in the field of driving simulation was a challenge, but above all a Very Important, Inspiring and Innovative Proposal, Project, Platform – which became ViP. Since the start in 2008, ViP has established an attractive environment for co-operation and competence development as well as for sharing and exchanging knowledge and experience in the field of real-time human-inthe- loop simulation. ViP builds and provides a unique platform of high quality tools, methods and open software for innovation and development of future vehicle functions, infrastructure, and transport system solutions by using advanced driving simulation. Thereby, the centre has been successful in introducing driving simulation in research and product development. Regarding product development, knowledge about the effects of alternative designs has been generated, which would have taken years to achieve in reality.
