Driving simulators are modern devices used in various fields of science, including the study of driver behavior and reactions. Conducting psychological research, which constitutes one of the elements of the road safety prevention system, supplemented by psychophysiological methods such as eye-tracking, electrocardiography (ECG), electromyography (EMG), and electroencephalography (EEG), in conditions where real road traffic is simulated, provides the opportunity for a comprehensive analysis of driver functioning in road traffic. This paper contains information regarding the application of driving simulators in psychophysiological studies of drivers.The development of simulation techniques, which began in the 1970s and is associated with the creation of increasingly perfect images of the road traffic environment, continues to evolve and is gaining increasing recognition from the scientific community.
