Driving simulations are a valuable tool for driving training and research. They allow basic handling and traffic participation to be trained and studied effectively. Since traffic situations and event handling can be controlled and captured, many study situations can be presented in a short time span. This makes driving simulations to be good tools for supporting driving training, study and research. In this report, the author will describe briefly what is a driving simulation, parts of the driving simulation system such as vehicle control, vehicle simulation and communication channels. A simple existing car simulator is introduced named the "CarWorld" simulation. Manipulating the outcome of the simulation such as speed, right/left indicators, break, is the objective the project by modifying CarWorld. In this project, those outputs from the simulation will be displayed on electronic dashboards (e-dashboard) to help test and display dashboard functionality.
