Sally Shoop and Barry Coutermarsh, research engineers at the US Army 

Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab, discuss the 

SAVE (Synthetic Automotive Virtual Environments) program, which aims to build 

hardware and software that can teach soldiers how to control a vehicle to 

avoid accidents and rollovers, and save the lives of military and civilian

vehicOne third as many soldiers are killed in vehicle accidents than in combat. 

To get technology for accident avoidance training into the hands of 

our soldiers, first you have to have good models for road surfaces 

in military operations so that the vehicle dynamics is accurate enough to 

respond like a real vehicle.le operators. 

Integrated methodologies put drivers through a sweeping range of environments, 

weather conditions and road hazards.
