Driving simulation system
First Claim
1. A simulation system comprising a simulator body which simulates the operation of a conveyance model, an output information collecting device for collecting control information from and providing operation information to said simulator body, and a communication circuit which joins said simulator body and said output information collecting device, wherein:
- the output information collecting device comprises the conveyance model, which operates according to the control information received from the simulator body;
the conveyance model comprises a television camera which shoots the surrounding view to pass the obtained picture information to the simulator body via the communication circuit, and comprises an acceleration detector which detects the acceleration of the conveyance model and provides the obtained information of the acceleration to the simulator body via the communication circuit, the acceleration detector providing the obtained information of the acceleration as part of the operation information;
the simulator body comprises a cockpit device that includes an operating seat, a driving section that is operable to move the cockpit device, and an output section which displays the picture taken by the television camera; and
the driving section operable to receive the part of the operation information and operable to move the cockpit device according to the information of acceleration provided by the acceleration detector.

Abstract
A simulation system which can provide a realistic quasi-experience of operating a conveyance.
An output information collecting device 3 is provided with a conveyance model 20 which operates according to the operation information accepted from outside. The conveyance model 20 comprises a television camera 30 which shoots the surrounding scenery and a accelerometer 40 which detects the acceleration. A simulator body 4 is provided with a cockpit device 50, a driving section 70 which changes the cockpit device, and an output section 220 which displays the picture shot by the television camera 30. The cockpit device 50 includes an input section for operating, 60, which accepts the operation information to operate the conveyance model 20. A driving section 70 changes the cockpit device 50 based on the information of acceleration informed by the accelerometer 40.
