Training system of a powered vehicle
First Claim
1. A training system for use in combination with a manned independently controllable powered solo vehicle, the system including:
- a training area having boundaries defined by a plurality of spaced sensors and allowing for movement of the vehicle to different locations within said training area;
a computer for being associated with said vehicle for communicating with, and receiving instructions from, each of said plurality of sensors;
at least one electronic controller for controlling at least one of;
speed and orientation of said vehicle if said vehicle is a ground vehicle; and
speed, orientation and height of said vehicle if said vehicle is a flying vehicle;
wherein when in said training area the speed and orientation when said vehicle is a ground vehicle and the speed, orientation and height when said vehicle is flying vehicle in use are controllable by a person manning the vehicle, unless the vehicle exceeds pre-set parameters of speed and/or orientation for the ground vehicle or of speed and/or orientation and/or height for the flying vehicle, in which case said at least one electronic controller under the control of said computer overrides the manned independent control of the vehicle such that the speed and/or orientation of the ground vehicle or the speed and/or orientation and/or height of the flying vehicle are controllable by said at least one electronic controller within said pre-set parameters.

Abstract
A training system for the solo operation of a powered vehicle, wherein the system includes: —providing means for electronic control of the speed and orientation of a ground vehicle or of the speed, orientation and height of a flying vehicle; —providing a virtual enclosure training area delineated by a plurality of spaced sensors; —providing means associated with said vehicle for communicating with, and receiving instructions from, each of said sensors; —whereby instructions received from said sensors may be used to control said means for electronic control such that movement of said vehicle is restricted to said virtual enclosure training area, and within said virtual enclosure training area, the speed and orientation of a ground vehicle or the speed, orientation and height of a flying vehicle controlled within preset parameters.
