First Claim
Patent Images
1. A response evaluation module for teaching driver training, the module comprising:
- a vehicle having standard automotive equipment therein such as a seat, steering wheel, accelerator, brakes, speedometer, ignition, and tires;
movable belt means constructed and adapted when mounted to receive said vehicle tires thereon, said belt means simulating a roadway;
means mounting said belt means constructed and adapted to be driven to rotatably drive said belt means;
a telescopeable notocord attached to the bottom of said vehicle and means stationary relative said vehicle and operable to allow movement of said vehicle forward, backward, and laterally on said belt means for simulating sliding, skidding, fish tailing, and hydroplaning; and
a dome surrounding said vehicle and providing a hemisphere screen for showing landscape on the screen to simulate actual road traffic conditions.

8. A response evaluation module for teaching driver training, the module comprising:
-
a vehicle having standard automotive equipment therein such as a seat, steering wheel, accelerator, brakes, speedometer, ignition, and tires; a pair of movable roadway belts constructed and adapted when mounted to receive the tires of said vehicle thereon for simulating the driving of the vehicle on a roadway; means mounting said roadway belts constructed and adapted to be driven to rotatably drive said roadway belts; A telescoping notocord attached to the bottom of said vehicle and to the floor beneath same, and disposed between said roadway belts and allowing movement of said vehicle on said drive belts in a forward direction, backward direction, and a lateral direction for simulating sliding of the vehicle, skidding, fish tailing, and hydroplaning; pressure sensors wired to a computer and attached to the steering wheel and the seat of said vehicle for measuring pressure applied thereto and comparing the amount of pressure applied during different driving situations; a dome surrounding said vehicle and providing a hemisphere screen; and a pair of cameras suspended from said dome, said cameras showing landscape on said hemisphere screen and simulating actual road traffic conditions.
