The control circuit 22 is connected to the computer 104 via a data transmission communication line 112, and the CGI generator 24 is connected to the computer 104 via a video communication line 114.

  Next, the operation of the riding simulator 10 configured as described above will be described. The main body (means) for controlling the operation is the control circuit 22.

  When the operator 38 operates the front brake lever 76, throttle grip 80, and clutch lever 84 of the handle 68, the output signal of the front brake pressure sensor 78, the output signal of the accelerator opening sensor 82, and the clutch lever angle sensor 86 An output signal is supplied to the control circuit 22.

On the other hand, the moving direction and moving amount of the operator 38 on the two-wheeled vehicle 40 are detected by the lean torque sensor 88, and the output signal is sent to the control circuit 22. Based on these output signals, the control circuit 22 controls the drive of the drive mechanism 42 and controls the display device 34 and the like.

  For example, when the operator 38 operates the front brake lever 76 to perform braking, the pitching motor 58 is driven in accordance with the brake pressure detected by the front brake pressure sensor 78, and the two-wheeled vehicle 40 is tilted forward, and the brake is applied. The behavior when running is reproduced. On the other hand, when the accelerator is rapidly opened by operating the throttle grip 80, the pitching motor 58 is driven according to the opening detected by the accelerator opening sensor 82. Similarly, the two-wheeled vehicle 40 is operated under the action of the pitching motor 58. It is tilted backwards and the behavior during acceleration operation is reproduced. In addition, the roll motor 66 causes the two-wheeled vehicle 40 to be banked to the left and right based on the steering wheel operation during traveling and the output of the lean torque sensor 88.

  When various operations of the operator 38 as described above are performed, the display 32 displays a video (traveling scene) including a traveling path based on the traveling state. An equivalent driving feeling can be obtained.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display state of the display 32 during learning. On the display 32, a road map 200 based on 3D images by computer graphics is displayed. The road map 200 displays a road 206, a pedestrian crossing 205, a traffic light 203, a building 204, a rearview mirror 201 of another vehicle 202 and a pair of left and right own vehicles, various road signs, and the like. On the upper right of the display 32, a running indicator 150 is displayed as a display device indicating the current running state. The operator 38 operates the two-wheeled vehicle 40 while viewing each display on the display 32.

  FIG. 5 is an overall view of the learning course set in the riding simulator 10. The riding simulator 10 sets one route line 210 in a predetermined road map 200 in the virtual space, and teaches the vehicle to travel along a route along the route line 210. The route line 210 is a route obtained by dividing a start (START) to a goal (GOAL) by a plurality of segments. In the present embodiment, a total of 86 segments from the point 0 to the point 1 to the segment 86 are used. Thus, the route line 210 is configured. The road map 200 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display 32 during normal training.

  According to the method of defining route lines with multiple segments as described above, it is possible to accurately grasp the current position of the vehicle, to set different speed limits for each segment, and to cross pedestrians. Control such as slow running and stopping, passing of a parked vehicle sideways, passing of a puddle, and the like to appear on a segment basis becomes easy.

  In the present embodiment, only one route line 210 is described in the road map 200. However, a plurality of route lines may be set in the same road map 200 and arbitrarily selected. In addition, another road map can be prepared to increase the choice of the driving course.

  FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged view of the road map 200 and the route line 210. The route line 210 indicates a course route on the road map 200, and is set along the shoulder on the left side of the road in the case of left-hand traffic. The own vehicle M can travel arbitrarily within the range of the road width of the road map 200. For example, when traveling on the right corner 200a, the vehicle M meanders like A or runs closer to the center line C like B. In addition, traveling on the opposite lane beyond the center line C is also expressed on the display 32. The operator 38 needs to operate the two-wheeled vehicle 40 on the road map 200 along the route line 210 according to traffic regulations and traffic manners.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a configuration in the control circuit 22 of the riding simulator 10. The input unit 400 corresponds to the keyboard 106 and the mouse 108 that are connected to the computer 104. With the input unit 400, the operator's name, age, sex, date of birth, driving history, blood type, and normal driving are performed. Individual attribute information such as the type of car is input. When attribute information is input, an ID number is assigned to each teacher. When receiving a lesson using the riding simulator 10 next time, the input of the attribute information can be omitted by inputting the ID number and the password with the input unit 400. The result of the lesson received last time is stored in the previous travel result storage unit 405.

  The training course database 404 stores a virtual road map 200 for driving training and images made up of computer graphics for reproducing various traffic conditions on a display. The learning course setting unit 401 refers to the attribute information of the operator 38 and selects one appropriate for the operator from the learning courses prepared in the learning course database 404. If the operator 38 has already received a lesson and the data at that time is stored in the previous travel result storage unit 405, the lesson course may be selected based on the result.

  In the training course, traffic regulations are set by speed limit, prohibited parking area, signs / signs, etc. like the actual road, and traffic signs corresponding to these are displayed on the screen. The operator 38 confirms these and performs a driving operation so as to comply with traffic regulations.

  In addition, training courses such as “Manhole”, “Puddles and People”, “Pedestrians on a pedestrian crossing”, and “Pedestrians jump out” are set in the training course. . For example, when a training scene of “puddle and person” appears, it is required to travel at a sufficiently low speed and a large distance from a pedestrian.

  Various training scenes are stored in the training scene database 407. The present embodiment is characterized in that the training course setting unit 401 sets a training course by assigning a predetermined training scene at the same ratio to the selected one training course by the training scene assignment unit 403. According to this configuration, the same percentage of training scenes are set even in different courses, so even if the course that received the previous training and the course that received the current training are different, the results of both are compared. It becomes possible to evaluate the progress of driving skills.

  Furthermore, the learning course setting unit 401 can set the same ratio of training scenes for the same learning course read from the learning course database 404 so that their appearance positions are different. According to this configuration, even if the course that received the previous training and the course that received the current training are the same, the appearance position of the training scene is different, so the driving position is stored because the training scene appears. Regardless of whether or not the technology has been improved, it is possible to prevent a good result from being obtained and to accurately determine the progress of the driving technology.

  The image control unit 402 in the control circuit 22 (see FIG. 3) projects the image of the learning course created by the learning course setting unit 401 on the display 32 of the riding simulator 10. When the driving lesson is started, images simulating various traffic situations are projected on the display 32. According to the traffic situation to be projected (for example, turning left and right at intersections, changing lanes, overtaking, temporary stop at a railroad crossing, starting on a hill) and instructions, the teacher operates operating devices such as handle 68, brake lever 76, blinker, The operation information is acquired by the driving operation information acquisition unit 406 through a sensor attached to each operation device. The driving operation information acquisition unit 406 sequentially calculates behaviors such as the speed of the virtual vehicle, the direction of the vehicle body, and the braking distance based on the acquired information.

  The calculated vehicle behavior is sent to the image control unit 402. The image control unit 402 reflects the driving operation by the teacher in real time on the image to be projected. The driving operation information and the calculated vehicle behavior are further sent to the evaluation unit 600. The evaluation unit 600 evaluates the driving operation of the learner from the sent driving operation information and the behavior of the vehicle.

  The evaluation unit 600 includes an evaluation unit 601 for each training scene, a previous result comparison unit 602 for each training scene, a whole course evaluation unit 604, and a whole course previous result comparison unit 605. The training scene evaluation unit 601 evaluates whether or not a training scene (event) that appears on the training course can be cleared. Specifically, it is evaluated in, for example, four stages A to D whether or not a predetermined operation requested is executed for a predetermined training scene. Moreover, the previous result comparison unit 602 for each training scene compares the evaluation with respect to the predetermined training scene at the time of the previous learning and the evaluation with respect to the predetermined training scene at the time of the current learning, and determines the degree of progress with respect to the predetermined training scene. . According to this configuration, for example, even when traveling on different learning courses, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not the operation required when the “manhole” appears has improved.

  The course overall evaluation unit 604 sequentially monitors the driving operation of the instructor, and performs basic evaluations such as whether the speed limit is observed, the vehicle stops at a position where it should be stopped, or the blinker flashes when necessary. Evaluate the item. The learning course setting unit 401 assigns the evaluation items at the same rate even when the selected learning courses are different. The entire course previous result comparison unit 605 compares the evaluation with respect to the basic evaluation item at the time of the previous learning and the evaluation with respect to the basic evaluation item at the time of the current learning, and determines the progress of the basic evaluation item. .

  In addition, the eco-driving degree evaluation unit 604 in the entire course evaluation unit 603 evaluates the eco-driving degree indicating whether or not the driving is favorable with respect to the environment based on the average fuel consumption and the minimum instantaneous fuel consumption in the entire course. To do. Specifically, a 5-level evaluation of ranks 1 to 5 is performed using an eco-driving degree determination map showing a relationship of average fuel consumption-minimum instantaneous fuel-eco-driving degree as shown in FIG. According to this evaluation method, even if the average fuel efficiency is good, if you make a sudden start or acceleration that deteriorates the minimum instantaneous fuel efficiency, a good result cannot be obtained with the eco-driving degree. It is possible to urge to refrain from. The average fuel consumption and the minimum instantaneous fuel consumption are calculated based on the occupant's operation and predetermined virtual engine data.

  The evaluation result is sent to the learning result creation unit 500 and the advice creation unit 450. The learning result creation unit 500 includes a chart creation unit 501 that creates a polygonal radar chart indicating evaluations for basic evaluation items, and an eco-drive degree display creation unit that creates an image for visually displaying the eco-drive degree. 502 and a map creation unit 503 that creates a travel map including a planar map that visually displays the contents of the driving operation by the teacher. The map creation unit 503 creates a travel map by combining the information of the training course obtained from the training course database 404 and the evaluation result.

  Based on the sent evaluation result, the advice creation unit 450 creates advice that is suitable for the teacher by combining various sentences prepared in advance in the advice database 451. The radar chart, eco-drive level display and travel map created by the training result creation unit 500, and the advice created by the advice creation unit 450 are each sent to the result sheet creation unit 452. The result sheet creation unit 452 creates a result sheet that combines these. The result sheet can be printed on a monitor 110 (see FIG. 3) connected to the computer 104 in addition to printing from a printer (not shown).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a result sheet 700 showing the results of the entire course. At the top of the result sheet 700, an attribute information column 701 for displaying the operator's student number, age, and the like is provided. Below the attribute information column 701 is provided a general data column 702 that describes evaluations for basic evaluation items provided throughout the training course.

  In this embodiment, as basic evaluation items, “number of accident occurrences”, “number of sudden braking operations (number of brake inputs exceeding a predetermined braking force)”, “overspeed ratio (restricted with respect to total course distance) "Percentage of distance traveled in excess of speed)", "Average left / right turn speed (average speed when turning left / right inside intersection)", "Pause, red light violation (stop where it must stop) The total of six items are set: “number of times that there was no operation” and “delay of blinker operation, forgetting (number of parts not operated)”. For the display of results for each evaluation item, the entire course previous result comparison unit 605 (see FIG. 7) arranges the first column 703 indicating the previous learning result and the second column 706 indicating the current learning result on the left and right. It is configured as follows. In the result column 704, specific results for each evaluation item are shown, and in the evaluation column 704, A (safety), B (slightly safe), C (caution), and D (strict attention) based on the specific results. A stage evaluation is performed.

  The display of the evaluation column 704 is set to 0 times = A, 1 time or more = D (no B, C evaluation) in the “number of accident occurrences”. The “number of sudden braking operations” is set to 0 times = A, 1 time = B, 2 to 3 times = C, 4 times or more = D. The “speed excess ratio” is set to 0% or more and less than 10% = A, 10% or more and less than 20% = B, 20% or more and less than 30% = C, and 30% or more = D. Further, the “average left / right turn speed” is set to be less than 15 km / h = A, 15 km / h or more and less than 25 km / h = B, 25 km / h or more but less than 30 km / h = C, 30 km / h or more = D. . Further, “temporary stop, red signal violation” is set as 0 times = A, 1 time = C, 2 times or more = D (no B evaluation). Further, “winner operation delay, forget” is set as 0 times = A, 1 time = B, 2 to 3 times = C, 4 times or more = D.

  Below the evaluation column 704, a travel result chart column 707 for displaying the radar chart 708 created by the chart creation unit 501 (see FIG. 7) is provided. The radar chart 708 displays the first time indicated by a broken line (previous time) and the second time indicated by a solid line (current time) in an overlapping manner, so that the previous result and the current result can be easily compared.

  On the right side of the travel result chart column 707, a comprehensive evaluation column 709 is provided. Comprehensive evaluation displays the evaluation of the whole course in four stages of A to D using an average value of basic evaluation items. In this embodiment, the current result is displayed below the previous result, so that the progress is easily visually recognized.

  An eco-driving degree evaluation column 710 is provided at the bottom of the result sheet 700. In the eco-driving degree evaluation column 710, an average fuel consumption display 711, an eco-driving degree display 712, and an eco-driving advice display 713 are provided. The eco-driving degree display 712 displays the eco-driving degree indicating whether or not the driving is favorable with respect to the environment in a five-step evaluation based on the number of colored Futaba marks. In addition, the eco-drive advice display unit 713 can read and display advice corresponding to the evaluated eco-drive degree from the advice database 421.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a result sheet 800 showing results for each training scene. The result sheet 800 can be displayed on one screen with the result sheet 700 arranged on the right side as the left side by the previous result comparison unit 602 for each training scene.

  The result sheet 800 according to the present embodiment includes, in order from the top, “manhole” as a motorcycle characteristic experience, “puddle and person” confirming consideration for nuisance, and “considering pedestrian priority” The results of driving and evaluation of the four training scenes of “Pedestrians” and “Pedestrian Jumps” to confirm consideration for protection of the weak are displayed.

  Evaluation for each training scene not only arranges the results of the first time and the results of the second time in the horizontal direction, but also includes a travel map 802 associated with the first result and a travel map 807 associated with the second result. By placing the evaluation displays 804 and 805 and the driving result text displays 803 and 806 shown in four stages A to D between the left and right ends, the comparison between the first result and the second result can be performed. It is easy to do.

  Focusing on the uppermost “manhole” in the result sheet 800, the first result and the second result are displayed side by side at the bottom of the training scene title column 801. Looking at the first driving map 802, when turning to the right at the intersection, it was hidden behind the caution vehicle and could not be seen. It can be confirmed that the degree of attention has decreased and the speed has been exceeded. The travel result advice display 803 corresponding to the result of the training scene displays “It is likely to fall over at the manhole at the intersection.” The evaluation display 804 displays “C”. Note that the first travel result is read from the previous travel result storage unit 405.

  On the other hand, since “A” is displayed on the second evaluation display 805 adjacent to the right side of the first evaluation display 804, the operator immediately recognizes that the operation on the training scene “manhole” has improved. can do. The driving result advice display 806 on the right side of the second evaluation display 805 displays “It was safe to drive the manhole at the corner.” When the driving map 807 is viewed, it is narrow from the high-speed main road. It can be confirmed that it was possible to safely pass the manhole installed in the center of the road because the last deceleration to turn left into the alley was sufficient. In the advice display field 808, operations required for individual training scenes, caution points, and the like are displayed. For the training scene “Manhole”, “If you pass over the manhole while turning, there is a risk of slipping and falling. Reduce the speed and let the vehicle stand as much as possible” is displayed. The reason why the evaluation display 805 was “A” was that the vehicle was sufficiently decelerated during the left turn, and the reason can be grasped. The advice displayed on the travel result advice display 806 is read from the advice database 451 according to the travel result of each training scene.

  In the following, the same display will be made for the training scenes of “Puddles and People”, “Pedestrians on Pedestrian Crossing”, and “Pedestrians Jumping Out”. Can be easily grasped.

  Note that the form of the result sheets 700 and 800 can be variously modified. For example, a general advice column that summarizes the entire lesson may be provided at the bottom of the result sheet 800.

  FIG. 11 is a view showing a result sheet 900 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The result sheet 900 shows the result of the entire course, similar to the result sheet 700 shown in FIG. 8, but in particular, the configuration of the eco-drive degree evaluation column 905 showing the evaluation result of the eco-drive degree is different. The configuration in which the radar chart column 902 is arranged at the lower part of the general data column 901 and the result column 704 is provided on the right side thereof is the same as the result sheet 700 shown in FIG. In addition, the radar chart 903 displayed in the radar chart column 902 is arranged so that the evaluation “D” is positioned at a position separated from the center of the hexagon. Instead of displaying only, a small hexagon is displayed.

  The eco-driving degree evaluation column 905 according to the present embodiment is configured to display the first and second results side by side and to display the eco-driving degree as a score in addition to the display with the Futaba mark. The eco-drive degree display 910 displayed with five Futaba marks is configured such that the colored portions of the five Futaba marks increase toward the right in conjunction with the score displayed on the total score display 909. . Above the Futaba mark, an average fuel consumption display 911 indicating the average fuel consumption throughout the course is provided. The eco-driving degree evaluation is executed by the eco-driving degree evaluating unit 604 (see FIG. 7) of the overall course evaluating unit 601.

  In the present embodiment, the points displayed on the total eco-drive score display 909 are the start acceleration score display 906 with a maximum score of 25, the sudden deceleration score display 907 with a maximum score of 25, and the average fuel consumption score display 908 with a maximum score of 50. Each of the displayed points is displayed as a total value of 100 points.

  The score displayed on the start acceleration point display 906 is calculated based on the maximum throttle opening THmax detected at the start from the stop state. The graph shown in FIG. 13 is a graph showing a change in the throttle opening detected when starting from the stop state. In this embodiment, the maximum value of the throttle opening detected until 3 seconds have elapsed from the start. Is applied as the maximum throttle opening THmax (%).

  The maximum throttle opening THmax is recorded every time the course starts from the stop state while traveling on the course, and the maximum throttle opening average value THmax_ave is calculated by dividing the sum by the number of starts n. The maximum throttle opening average value THmax_ave is applied to a data graph showing the relationship between the deduction points and the maximum throttle opening average value THmax_ave, as shown in FIG. It is calculated by the formula of 25-deduction points (maximum 25).

  Next, the number of points displayed on the rapid deceleration point display 907 is calculated based on the number of times that a sudden braking operation, which is a brake input exceeding a predetermined braking force, is performed. In this embodiment, if the number of sudden braking is 0, a deduction is set to 0, and if the number of sudden braking is 4 or more, a deduction is set to 25. When the number of sudden brakings brkn is 1, 2, or 3, the respective deduction points are calculated using the calculation formula of 6.25 × brkn. The score in “rapid deceleration” is a value obtained by rounding off the decimal point after being calculated by the equation of 25−number of deduction points (maximum 25).

  The score displayed on the average fuel consumption score display 908 is derived based on a data map showing the relationship between the overall course average fuel consumption and the average fuel consumption score (maximum 50) as shown in FIG. When the average overall fuel consumption of the course is N, the average fuel consumption score is P. In the eco-driving degree evaluation column 905, the value of N is displayed on the average fuel consumption display 911, and the value of P is displayed on the average fuel consumption score display. Is displayed at 908.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a result sheet 950 showing results for each training scene according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The result sheet 950 confirms, from the top, “pedestrians on pedestrian crossings” that confirms consideration for pedestrian priority, “puddles and people” that confirm consideration for nuisance, and consideration for protection of the vulnerable. The driving results and evaluations for four training scenes of “pedestrian jumping out” and “manhole” as a motorcycle characteristic experience are displayed.

  Evaluation for each training scene not only arranges the results of the first time and the results of the second time in the horizontal direction, but also includes a travel map 951 associated with the first result and a travel map 957 associated with the second result. By placing the evaluation display 954, 955 and the running result text display 953, 956 shown in the four stages A to D between the left and right ends, a comparison between the first result and the second result can be made. It is easy to do.

  Focusing on the “pedestrian on the pedestrian crossing” at the top of the result sheet 950, the first result and the second result are displayed side by side in the lower part of the title column 951 of the training scene. Looking at the first driving map 952, when I tried to turn right at the T-junction, I was paying attention to the bicycle traveling on the pedestrian crossing, so I noticed that the child walking on the pedestrian crossing was delayed. Can be confirmed. The travel result advice display 953 corresponding to the result of the training scene displays “You have approached a child on a pedestrian crossing up to 2.8 m”, and the evaluation display 954 displays “B”.

  On the other hand, since “A” is displayed in the second evaluation display 955 adjacent to the right side of the first evaluation display 953, the operator can immediately operate the training scene “pedestrian on a pedestrian crossing”. Can be recognized as improving. The travel result advice display 956 on the right side of the second evaluation display 955 displays “It was possible to safely handle pedestrians on the pedestrian crossing”. It can be confirmed that it was not too close to the pedestrian because of the confirmation. And in the advice display field 958, “If there is a pedestrian trying to cross a pedestrian crossing, that pedestrian is given priority in principle. You must not stop the pedestrian crossing by stopping at a safe place. The reason why the second evaluation display 956 was “A” was that the pedestrian did not start a right turn until the pedestrian had crossed, and the reason could be grasped.

  In the following, the same display is performed for the training scenes of “Pedestrian Jumping Out”, “Puddles and People”, and “Manhole”, so the operator who has completed the training can easily grasp the progress of each training scene. It becomes possible to do.

  A general advice column 960 is provided at the bottom of the result sheet 950. The advice described in the general advice column 960 lists the training scenes in which the current result is better than the previous result by the training scene previous result comparison unit 602, that is, it can be determined that the driving skill has improved. Comparison results such as how much has been improved can be included.

  In the present embodiment, the general advice column 960 indicates that “an improvement tendency was observed in the item of the two-wheel characteristics. Maintain this state and drive while paying attention to the characteristics of the two-wheeled vehicle. Pedestrian priority” There was a slight improvement trend for the item.Let's continue to improve this state and always follow the rules.Motorcycles are more maneuverable, so it is easier to speed up. ”And try to drive with the brakes in mind”. According to such advice display, the evaluation of the training scene “manhole” has improved from C to A by two levels, and the evaluation of “pedestrians on a pedestrian crossing” has improved from B to A by one level. Etc. can be easily confirmed.

  It should be noted that the form of the result sheets 900 and 950 can be variously modified. For example, a comment field for describing various sentences may be provided at the bottom of the result sheet 900. In this comment field, for example, a text such as “This month's slogan: Declaration if you have a handle!

  As described above, according to the riding simulator according to the present invention, since the training scenes that require specific driving are set at the same ratio in a plurality of traveling courses, even when the teacher travels on a plurality of traveling courses. By comparing and determining the result of the driving operation of the driver in each training scene, it becomes possible to diagnose the progress of the driver.

  Riding simulator configuration, training course road map and route line format, training scene contents, ratio of training scene allocation to training courses, result sheet form, previous result comparison section by training scene and previous course comparison The display form according to the output of the unit, the display content of the advice, etc. are not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made.
