VEHICLE SIMULATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle simulation system comprising:
- a dummy vehicle operated by a driver;
a front display unit for displaying a scene based on the operation of said dummy vehicle and visually confirmed when viewed from a first visual point set based on a seated position of said driver; and
a side display unit provided on at least one of a left side and a right side and configured so that an image displayed thereon is not visually confirmed when viewed from said first visual point, but is visually confirmed when viewed from a second visual point on a front side relative to said first visual point.

Abstract
A vehicle simulation system equipped to display information on the rear side of a driver (rider). The simulation system includes a dummy bicycle operated by the rider, a monitor on the front side for displaying a scene based on the operations of the dummy bicycle, and a lamp unit connected to the dummy bicycle and provided on the rear side relative to the seated position of the rider. The lamp unit has a red lamp, a yellow lamp and a green lamp, and is controlledly turned ON under the action of a main control unit. An input device is provided on a steering handle of the dummy bicycle. The input device has a switch for red, a switch for yellow, and a switch for green. The rider checks behind, and operates the input device according to the ON/OFF conditions of the lamp unit.

7. A vehicle simulation system comprising:
-
a dummy vehicle operated by a driver; a front display unit for displaying a front scene in a central display region and displaying left and right scenes in left and right end display regions, based on the operation of said dummy vehicle; first mirror members for shielding said left and right end display regions from the visual point of said driver and reflecting images toward lateral sides; and second mirror members for further reflecting the images reflected by said first mirror members.
