Vehicle for simulating impaired driving
First Claim
1. A motorized vehicle operable to simulate impaired driving, comprising:
- a chassis supported by a set of wheels, at least one of which being driven by a motor;
a vehicle control system that controls at least one aspect of vehicle operation in response to an operator input intended to produce an expected vehicular response; and
an impairment simulator operable in a first mode whereby the vehicle control system produces the expected vehicular response, and a second mode whereby the vehicle control system produces a response inconsistent with the expected vehicular response.

Abstract
The present invention provides a motorized vehicle of the type having a chassis supported by a set of wheels, at least one of which being driven by a motor. The vehicle is operable to simulate impaired driving. In particular, a vehicle control system is provided that controls at least one aspect of vehicle operation in response to an operator input intended to produce an expected vehicular response. An impairment simulator is provided that is operable in a first mode whereby the vehicle control system produces the expected vehicular response, and a second mode whereby the vehicle control system produces a response inconsistent with the expected vehicular response.

15. A motorized vehicle assembly configured to simulate impaired driving, comprising:
-
a chassis supported by a set of wheels, at least one of which being driven by a motor;
a vehicle control assembly operable to control at least one aspect of vehicle operation, the assembly including;
i. a sensor sensing an operator input and providing an output in response thereto;
ii. an actuator providing a vehicular response in response to a control signal; and
a controller receiving the sensor output and providing a control signal in response thereto, wherein the controller operates in a first mode whereby the control signal causes the vehicle control assembly to produce an expected response consistent with the operator input and a second mode whereby the control signal causes the vehicle control assembly to respond in a manner inconsistent with the operator input. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
