Two-wheeled vehicle simulation apparatus
First Claim
1. A two-wheeled vehicle simulation apparatus comprising:
- a two-wheeled vehicle simulator including a seat upon which a driver sits and a steering section operated by the driver;
a driver sensing section which senses placement of a foot of the driver on a floor adjacent to the two-wheeled vehicle simulator;
wherein the driver sensing section is a switch disposed on the floor adjacent to the two-wheeled vehicle simulator, the switch sensing the placement of the driver'"'"'s foot on the switch; and
a display section which displays information based on operation of the steering section and a signal of the driver sensing section;
wherein the driver sensing section senses a users foot the two wheeled vehicle simulator is activated.

Abstract
A two-wheeled vehicle simulation apparatus includes a vehicle simulator having a saddle which the driver sits on and handlebars operated by the driver, a mat switch laid on a floor in the vicinity of the vehicle simulator, and a monitor displaying information and images based on signals obtained from pedals, the handlebars, and the mat switch. Two or more of the mat switches are provided to independently sense respective placement of one or both feet on the floor by the driver. When two detectors substantially alternately detect placement of the driver'"'"'s right and left feet on the floor, an image of a two-wheeled vehicle and a person walking the two-wheeled vehicle is displayed on the monitor. The vehicle simulator permits simulation of the action of a driver putting his/her foot on a road surface to achieve more realistic simulation.
