TEST DRIVING SIMULATOR
Project Area of Specialization Software EngineeringProject SummaryDriving in this era is more of a necessity than luxury and knowing how to drive properly can make all the difference between life and death when it comes such situation, According to WHO approximately 1.35 million people die each year in road traffic crashes, and according to NHTSA human error is involved in 94 to 96% of all motor vehicle crashes and they also cost countries 3% of their gross domestic product, so clearly we need more advanced and strict driving lessons and tests respectively, so we have dreamt to tackle this problem with simulation, we have planned to create a complete product that can simulate close to real life experience and assist humans learn more freely and better.
Overall converting driving tests and courses to digital world has its own benefits, like it is more ecofriendly than hours of carbon emission from cars, it can also save money as learning accidents in real life can generate big bills in medical and mechanical repairs, but in our case it will only require a reset.
P.s. this technique in general is tested and proven to be very efficient as all the state-of-art air bases, navy bases, train training centers have some version of simulation learning before getting hands on experience with the real thing.
Project Objectives- To provide through knowledge and provide real life-like experience of car driving using a simulation
- To provide understanding of the laws and regulations for beginners and learners.
- To provide a cost-effective solution for driving schools and driver’s license authorities.
- To test a driver’s efficiency by simulating extreme driving conditions that are impossible to replicate in real life.
Research
We will go through the previous Research Papers on such similar projects that how can we turn our idea into existence.
Calculations
Calculations will be made based on our proto-type model.
Firstly, the driver’s view dynamics will be calculated to match the exact real driving experience.
The display LCD’s will be arranged in serial formation to provide the complete view of the driver’s POV and the side mirrors etc.
Simulation
A simulator will be designed based on the driving laws and regulations of Drivers License Authority PAKISTAN extreme climate conditions will be added as well for better testing. Driving tests will be designed with real time driving score for the user.
Body Structure
Infrastructure will be designed to give an ergonomic vibe using real car driver seat and dashboard etc.
To provide a cost-effective solution for driving schools and driver’s license authorities.
To test a driver’s efficiency by simulating extreme driving conditions that are impossible to replicate in real life.
Technical Details of Final Deliverable- Steering wheel, gear shifters and pedals will be synchronized with the simulator software.
- 4 LCD’s will be mounted on the LCD housing above the cockpit to provide extended view of the windscreen and side view mirrors.
- Experiments will be made to test the bugs and errors and will be fixed in the software.
- HMI (human-Machine interface) will be displayed on the LCDs
- Experiments will be executed on different simulated car transmission models for automatic gear shift and manual shift.
- We will make small prototype of this project for the analysis of errors that may occur.
- Other parameters will be tested during this process (e.g.) the rpm and speed of the car, gear shifting time, etc.
