DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a driving lesson or a driving experience of a vehicle, which allows the user to freely realize an environment such as a tunnel, a night road, a rainy road, or a foggy environment, thereby enabling a driving experience learning. And an all-weather and night driving experience simulator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional driving school, training during the day is conducted exclusively, and some places are equipped with nighttime lighting equipment.
It can be said that there is almost no place where the user can actually learn the driving experience under conditions such as rainy weather and fog. Therefore, training under such a bad environment and bad conditions is insufficient.
In addition, there are devices that use a computer to learn by projecting the images on a television image or a large screen, but they do not provide an actual experience because they do not allow the user to experience the actual natural environment or conditions.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and creates a state as close as possible to an actual natural environment or a peculiar phenomenon at night. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an all-weather and nighttime driving experience simulation device useful for safety education so as to prevent traffic accidents before they occur.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An all weather and night driving experience simulation apparatus according to the present invention is a structure having a lighting device which is a structure for shielding sunlight and which embodies the environment of a tunnel or a night road. A training vehicle placed at a predetermined position in the building, a light panel device installed in front of the training vehicle, diagonally forward and rearward, and capable of changing the height and angle of a light, and in front of the training vehicle A doll device for traversing a doll, a water spray nozzle device and a blower device for embodying a rainy or misty environment, and a control device capable of operating and controlling the lighting device, light panel device, doll device, water spray nozzle device and blower device. It is characterized by having.

[0005] Since the dome-shaped structure is a structure that shields sunlight even during the day, the lighting device can embody the environment of a tunnel or a night road, and experience learning in such an environment can be performed. it can. The length of this building may be longer than the distance traveled from when the brake is depressed to when the vehicle stops, and the width of a general national road is sufficient.

[0006] Although the training vehicle is stopped at a predetermined position in the building, it is an actual vehicle, and can be operated by a brake, a wiper, and a light. In addition, if the control device or the remote control device of the control device is provided in the training vehicle, one instructor in the passenger seat can remotely control and control all the devices constituting the device of the present invention. Also, if the control device or the remote control device of the control device is provided in another place of the facility, it goes without saying that remote control and control can be performed from the installation location.

[0007] The light panel device is provided with lights corresponding to a preceding vehicle, an oncoming vehicle, and a following vehicle. The light panel device can change the height of the lights according to the type of ordinary passenger car, truck, large vehicle, and the like. Since the angle of the light can be freely changed downward or upward, it is possible to experience the dazzling experience of the light at night, the experience of confirming the distance between vehicles, and the evaporation phenomenon in which the doll cannot be seen by the light. This light panel device can also be used as a substitute for a signal light.

[0008] The doll device is more like a crossing pedestrian, becomes more practical and easier to see by allowing a plurality of dolls to dress differently and change their speed individually. You can do hands-on learning of colors and colors that are difficult to see, as well as hands-on learning that can respond to sudden jumps.

[0009] The watering nozzle device and the blowing device are for embodying a rainy state or a fog field, and can easily create a pseudo state of light rain, heavy rain, heavy rain, or a fog field. It is possible to experience learning a correct wiper operation according to such a situation.

[0010] Since the rear-wheel skid device is connected to the training vehicle, it is possible to experience and learn the skid phenomenon on a rough road.

Further, according to the present invention, the building includes a shutter at each of the front and rear openings, and a light-shielding curtain made of a soft material which is divided and suspended inside the shutter. This structure is used as a simulation experience device for traveling in a tunnel. That is, the training vehicle can pass through the building by pushing the curtains away, and can experience the dark adaptation and light adaptation experienced when entering the tunnel.

Further, in the present invention, the control device includes a storage device storing a training program, and a voice generating device for outputting the training program by voice. The device, the doll device, the water spray nozzle device, the blower device and the shutter are all or partially operated in a predetermined order. That is, since the learning effect according to the present invention can always be improved without an instructor, a training program is used instead of the instructor. The standard training program should be of the highest quality possible, and with the progress of the training program, explanations, instructions, and cautions should be given to the trainees through speakers or headphones, and linked to the audio, and the above devices should be used. All or some of them are automatically operated according to a predetermined order. As a result, the burden on the instructor can be reduced, and high-quality and efficient learning can be performed.
