From press release
Williams Advanced Engineering will introduce to the public for the first time the Middle East's most advanced road safety simulator at this year's ITS & Road Safety Forum, taking place between October 2 and 4 in Doha, Qatar.
Williams Advanced Engineering in Qatar has taken the cutting edge simulator technology used by the Williams F1 Team to train its racing drivers and adapted and extended it for use as a training tool for road going vehicles. The simulator has been developed in partnership with Mowasalat, Qatar's leading transport company, and will help improve the safety, environmental efficiency, passenger comfort and cost efficiency of drivers.
The simulator has been developed and built at the Williams Technology Centre in Doha's Science and Technology Park, using the skills of local Qatari engineers and graduates. It is the most technologically advanced road safety simulator in the Middle East, benefitting from a state of the art software package called 3D Doha that accurately maps the roads of Doha and simulates realistic driving scenarios. Drivers also sit in an authentic chassis with true to life controls further adding to the simulator's realism.
Damien Scott, General Manager of the Williams Technology Centre in Qatar, indicated that the team in Doha have spent the past three years developing this simulator to help improve Qatar's road safety record.
