Driving Safety Research Institute

Look back at our accomplishments and research projects from the year 2025, including our research on driving impairment from alcohol and distraction, advanced driver assistance systems, advances in simulation tech, and more

Timothy Brown, director of drugged driving research, was recently featured in a South Carolina news article talking about the nuances of blood and roadside testing for cannabis impairment: “People who regularly use THC consumables may meet the proposed thresholds even when they are not impaired, while infrequent consumers may not meet the limit of THC in their blood while still being too high to drive safely,” Brown said.

Director of engineering and modeling research Chris Schwarz appeared on IPR's 'River to River' talking about our work turning the NADS-1 simulator into a moon rover simulation

This past year, we drove on the moon. In simulation, anyway.
