Traffic simulation is using modern high-tech means, 3D real-time image generation technique, Vehicle dynamics simulation physical system, wide field display technology (such as Multi-channel stereo projection system), 6-dof motion platform or 3-dof motion platform, User input hardware system, stereo system, multimedia central control system, to get visual, auditory and somatosensory car driving experience closing to the real effect in virtual driving environment.

Because of complex technology and expensive cost, virtual driving technology only is done in the laboratory. With devolopment of software and hardware engineering, virtual driving technology, virtual driving technology has been accepted by more and more people and could be on into school and learnt in recent years.
