Abstract

This project propose the development of driving motion simulator.Driving simulators are increasingly being used as a didactic tool in driver training and education. Because the hardware has become more affordable and the quality of the simulator has improved over the past years,more and more driving instructors have decided to add simulator training to their curriculum.However,most of the driving simulator offer virtual driving car using only steering wheel,pedal and simulator software.The presence of motion increase the workload of the driver as driving simulator with motion offers a lot more focus and improve the driver behaviour hence speed up the learning process and minimize the chances of accident as the driver has learned to control the car as in various situation during training.The motion is created by using the rotation of DC motor that actuate the frame seat. Potentiometer is used as the feedback sensor to control the angle of the DC motor driver rotation.Microcontroller used in this project is Arduino Uno R3 and the motor driver used is Moto Monster Driver which support 30 ampere of current to control both of the DC motor.The simulator used in this project is Live for Speed and the software to extract the motion data from the simulator is Simtools.This project may contributes some idea on how to build a more realistic motion simulator.In real situation,this project does increase the focus and behaviour during in driving simulator training.
