As a rough guide, how much does it cost to run 20 subjects for an hour each as part of a study in the driving simulator?
As an approximate guideline of direct costs for simulator-based research, the cost for a typical simulator study based on a simple research methodology would cost between $100,000 and $200,000. For a more complex research methodology (or multiple studies), the approximate cost would be between $400,000 and $600,000. These cost estimates are currently based on a simulator access fee of $1950 per day for FY2006.
