6DOF full cabin driving simulator

In a joint venture with Daewon Industries Korea as prime contractor, alongside AIMS co. Japan and Forum 8 Japan, Motion Systems helped deliver a full cabin car driving simulator for training and educational purposes.

The full cabin driving simulator was implemented for the training and educational needs of Korea University of Technology and Education. Thanks to the very good cooperation and vast experience of the engineers involved in the project, the implementation of the simulator in the main building of the university went smoothly.

The 6DOF Motion Simulator, together with the software and projection set, recreates near-real conditions and situations that drivers may encounter while driving on the crowded streets of large cities.

The software provided by Forum 8 allows the creation of entire cities and their arteries, study the urban planning tool, create diversified landscapes and design advanced urban traffic management technology. The entire simulation is presented on an advanced projection system provided by AIMS co. from Japan.

The Motion Systems team was responsible in this project for the delivery and integration of the cockpit and motion platform.

The motion simulator is equipped with:

• a direct drive steering system connected to the car’s original steering column, keeping the Renault Twizy factory wheel to strengthen the sense of realism.
• a dashboard in place of the factory odometer, drive/neutral/reverse (DNR) gear buttons from the car’s automatic transmission, and a safety seat with 4-point belts on a dedicated welded X-bar frame where the rear seat used to be
• 10-inch LCD displays in place of side mirrors
• throttle and brake pedals in place of the factory pedals
• PS-6TM-1500 motion platform along with an additional safety switch that can be converted to a limit sensor.
