Desenvolvimento de um case para simulação de motocicleta

Abstract

Driving simulators have been gaining ground in the training of new drivers. This kind of tool provides a training directed to specific situations, enabling new drivers to guide in traffic. Considering training for motorcycle riders, the use of simulators has the advantage of not exposing the driver to potential accidents. Simulators should represent the real environment as close as possible to be considered as a valid tool for training. The search for reality is a constant within simulators, since the complexity of translating the real world into a computer system, requiring a high degree of processing, mapping, integration and synchronization in order to build an effective driving simulator. This work aims at the development of a motorcycle simulator with emphasis on synchronization between events occurred in a motorcycle simulation scenario, and also performing movements in a prototype of the Motion Platform. Due to the complexity, in this work we adopted a game engine to ease scenario construction, as well representation of moving entities and communication with the Motion Platform. It is also necessary to use the Arduino to prototype a Motion Platform.
