A VEHICLE SIMULATOR FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC IN IMPROVED VISIBILITY

FIN FAHRSIMULATOR FUER STRASSENVERKEHR BEI VERBESSERTER SICHTINFORMATION

The mechanical and electrical construction aspects of a vehicle simulator are described and mathematical deductions are given. The machine consists of a rigid highway laid out to a scale of 1 : 87 and a camera system with three object lenses running above it. The driver of the machine activates the camera system. The remaining vehicles constituting the traffic are brought into lines at a constant speed. Reproduction of the vehicle and traffic motion takes place on three television motitors. The vehicles's performance is reconstructed by means of computer switching, the circuits for which are given. /TRRL/
