Description

  The present invention relates to an automobile driving simulation device that simulates driving and running of an automobile.

An automobile driving simulation device that simulates driving and driving is used for education / training and research of driving and driving of automobiles.
A car driving simulation device is used to calculate the movement of a car based on the operation of its accelerator, brakes, steering wheel, etc., while a driver gets on a simulated driver's seat. The change of the scenery seen from the driver's seat is calculated from the result and displayed on the display device. The display device includes a cathode ray tube and a liquid crystal display, but in order to meet a demand for a large-scale screen, a device that displays on a screen with a projector is used.

  The present invention relates to a landscape projected on a display device of an automobile driving simulation device.

  In an automobile driving simulation device, a driver performs a simulated driving while looking at a landscape of a composite image created by computer graphics. This composite image is a landscape that is unfamiliar to each driver, such as urban and suburban landscapes that are about to drive cars, artificially made uniform urban models and landscapes of mountains and so on. He was supposed to drive the area. Therefore, the driver sees a uniform, tasteless dry landscape during simulated driving such as improvement of driving skills and safe driving training, so there is no kind of emotional closeness or attachment from such a landscape. I often felt a sense of tension and psychological pressure as a test subject.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and when performing driving simulation of a car, the driver feels a sense of tension and psychological pressure by driving while looking at an unfamiliar landscape area. A vehicle driving simulation device that can be reduced is obtained.

  The vehicle driving simulation device according to claim 1 is a vehicle driving operation comprising a simulated vehicle driver's seat provided with a simulated operation device, a calculation means, a control device, a landscape database in which landscape images of a plurality of regions are recorded, and a display device. In the simulation device, the control device outputs a regional landscape database selection command to the landscape database, selectively reads out landscape image data corresponding to a predetermined region, and gives the calculation device the calculation device, wherein the calculation unit is configured to perform the simulation operation by the driver. The vehicle motion based on the operation of the device is calculated, and based on the calculation result, the scenery seen from the driver's seat is calculated from the selected landscape image data, and the display device located in front of the simulated automobile driver's seat is based on the landscape data It is characterized by displaying a landscape corresponding to each area.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vehicle driving simulation device that outputs the regional-corresponding landscape database selection command according to the first aspect from a simulated vehicle driver's seat instead of the control device.

  According to the automobile driving simulation apparatus according to the first aspect, an image selected from a landscape database corresponding to each area is displayed by a regional landscape database selection command from the control device. For example, it is a skyscraper street in the Shinjuku sub-center in Tokyo, or a landscape of a temple and shrine represented by a five-storied pagoda against the backdrop of Higashiyama. As a result, the driver feels tense and psychologically as a driving subject because of the imitation of a driving experience, such as improvement of driving skills and safe driving classes, and some kind of emotional closeness and attachment from the local landscape. The feeling of pressure is reduced and driving in a calm psychological state can be realized.

  According to the vehicle driving simulation device according to claim 2, the regional landscape database selection command can be output from the simulated vehicle driver's seat, the driver can arbitrarily select from a plurality of regions, and the selected image is displayed. Is done. As a result, the driver can become nervous as a subject with driving due to a kind of emotional intimacy or attachment from the local landscape he / she chooses during simulated driving such as improvement of driving skills or safe driving training. Feeling and psychological pressure are reduced, and driving in a calm psychological state can be realized.

When the driver arrives at the simulated car driver's seat 101 at the start of the simulated driving operation, for example, an instructor operates the automobile driving simulation device, and the landscape corresponding to each region is specified by the regional corresponding landscape database selection command from the control device 104 An image is selected from the landscape database 105. In the landscape image, a predetermined area and an area in a predetermined order are selected by the control device 104 or randomly selected. Alternatively, the instructor can make a selection by listening to the driver's wishes or considering the driver's driving skill.
