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 can be used for urban or suburban scenery. For example, road trees and mountain trees are uniform green even when the actual driving season is winter, and the sky color is average blue. Seasonal changes were not taken into account, such as monotone. Therefore, the driver, when performing simulated driving such as improvement of driving skills and safe driving training, looks at a uniform, tasteless and dry landscape without seasonal changes, so it is kind of emotional, such as healing and peace of mind. I was not able to get a sense of satisfaction and security, and 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 an automobile, emotional satisfaction is obtained by realizing the seasonal change of the landscape, An automobile driving simulation device that can reduce the psychological pressure 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 simulation operation device, a calculation means, a control device, a landscape database in which landscape images of a plurality of seasons are recorded, and a display device. In the simulation device, the control device outputs a season-specific landscape database selection command to the landscape database, selectively reads out landscape image data corresponding to a predetermined season, and provides the calculation device with the simulation operation. 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 The scenery corresponding to each season is displayed.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vehicle driving simulation apparatus that outputs the seasonal scenery 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, the image selected from the landscape database corresponding to the predetermined season is displayed by the seasonal landscape database selection command from the control device. For example, the cherry blossom trees in the street trees are in full bloom in spring, the trees are bright fresh green in early summer, the blue sky and cumulonimbus in contrast in midsummer, and the flaming autumn leaves in autumn. It may be a snow scene in winter. As a result, the driver is able to improve the driving skills and provide safe driving lessons. As a result, the feeling of tension and psychological pressure can be reduced, and driving in a calm psychological state can be realized.

  According to the vehicle driving simulation apparatus according to claim 2, a seasonal landscape database selection command can be output from a simulated vehicle driver's seat, and a landscape suitable for driving in that season can be selected in the current season. The driver can arbitrarily select from a plurality of areas, and the selected image is displayed. As a result, the driver is able to improve his driving skills and provide safe driving lessons, as well as some kind of emotional closeness and attachment from the seasonal landscape he chooses. Feeling and psychological pressure are reduced, and driving in a calm psychological state can be realized.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a first embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention, in which 101 is a simulated car driver seat, 102 is a display device, 103 is calculation means, 104 is a control device, and 105 is a landscape database.
The simulated vehicle driver's seat 101 includes a simulated operation device for a simulated vehicle, and a display device 102 is disposed in front thereof. The calculation means 103 and the control device 104 are configured by a computer. The landscape database 105 includes a storage device, and is selected and read by a seasonal landscape database selection command from the control device 104.

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 season is specified by the seasonal compatible landscape database selection command from the control device 104 An image is selected from the landscape database 105. In the landscape video, a predetermined area in each season and an area in a predetermined order in each season are selected by the control device 104 or are randomly selected for the current season. Alternatively, the instructor can select for the current season by listening to the driver's wishes or considering the driver's driving skill.
