Vehicle driving simulator

Abstract

This vehicle driving simulator allows users to experience the excellent steering response characteristics in the small steering input range. [Solution] A vehicle driving simulator according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a steering wheel, a video generation unit that generates driving video, a display surface that displays the driving video, a laser light source that generates a laser pattern on the display surface, and a conversion unit that converts the rotation of the steering wheel into a horizontal displacement of the laser light source.

Claims

1. The steering wheel and A video generation unit that generates driving footage, A display surface for displaying the aforementioned driving video, A laser light source that generates a laser pattern on the display surface, A conversion unit that converts the rotation of the steering into the horizontal displacement of the laser light source. Equipped with Vehicle driving simulator.

2. When the steering wheel is not operated, the laser light source generates the laser pattern within a specific region of the display surface that includes the far end of the road included in the driving image displayed on the display surface. The vehicle driving simulator according to claim 1.

3. The conversion unit is a power transmission component comprising a first pulley fixed to the steering wheel, a second pulley fixed to the laser light source, and a belt that converts the rotation of the first pulley into power to rotate the second pulley and transmits that power to the second pulley. The vehicle driving simulator according to claim 1.

4. The conversion unit is a power transmission component comprising a lever portion to which the laser light source is fixed at one end, a support portion that rotatably supports the lever portion, and a transmission portion that converts the rotation of the steering into power that displaces the lever portion horizontally and transmits that power to the other end of the lever portion. The vehicle driving simulator according to claim 1.

5. The conversion unit is a power transmission component comprising a first pulley fixed to the steering wheel, a second pulley fixed to the laser light source, a sensor for detecting the rotation of the first pulley, and an actuator that generates power to rotate the second pulley based on the output of the sensor and rotates the second pulley with that power. The vehicle driving simulator according to claim 1.
