HRMARS - Using driving simulators in the Malaysian driver training curriculum (SPiP) is an important step taken by the government to improve road safety. However, the success of this training depends on the simulator’s design and ergonomics. This paper reviews existing studies on the physical and cognitive ergonomics of driving simulators used in Malaysia. The review finds that many simulators do not follow Malaysian anthropometric data and have low realism. This leads to discomfort for trainees and makes the training less effective. The paper suggests that there should be a standard and certification for simulator hardware based on local requirements to ensure new drivers are well-trained.
