Wachtel, Jerry A. (1993): Driving Simulators -- Serious Tools or Frivolous Toys? Part 1 -- A Symposium. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 600-601.

“Driving simulators in one form or another have been in use for nearly 90 years, and the debate over their utility has been with us nearly as long. Driving simulators have been used for research, training, examination, vehicle design, roadway visualization, forensics, product testing and consumer market research. In nearly all of these fields, supporters and detractors continue to argue the merits of simulation. The "computer revolution" has affected the world of driving simulation because it has enabled ever more sophisticated graphics generation and processing while at the same time lowering the price for this technology. These dual benefits are particularly apparent at the low end of the simulator market (systems typically priced in the tens of thousands of dollars) because high priced systems (those in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars) demand motion platforms which require robust structures and electromechanical devices and sophisticated 360 degree projection systems. In addition, the high-end simulators remain purpose-built systems, oriented almost exclusively to research or proprietary product development and testing; applications which do not appeal to a mass audience.”

Carter, Richard J. and Wachtel, Jerry A. (1992): Advanced Control Room Design Review Guidelines: Merging Old and New. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 423-427.

“The nuclear power industry is currently developing operator interface systems based on innovative applications of digital computers. To assure that this advanced technology is incorporated in a way that maximizes the potential safety benefits of the technology and minimizes the potential negative effects on human performance, human factors principles must be considered. NUREG-0700 contains guidelines for the review of operator interfaces. However, in light of the rapid technological advances in digital technology which have taken place in the eleven years since its publication, it is no longer adequate to assess the rapidly changing human-system interfaces. A research program, the purpose of which is to upgrade NUREG-0700, has been initiated. Thus far a set of draft advanced control room design review (ACRDR) guidelines has been complied. Three tasks, which were oriented towards integrating the applicable guidelines in NUREG-0700 into the ACRDR document, are described in the paper.”
