Described is a system for tracking and displaying the position of a motor vehicle driven by a user with respect to a determined route and the position of said user with respect to said motor vehicle.

The system includes a first and a second data acquisition unit configured to instantaneously detect the position of the motor vehicle and of the user relative to the motor vehicle and to the determined route; a processing unit for generating an image of the position of the motor vehicle and of the user and a visual projection device.

Devices and computer technology are configured to enable enhanced simulated bicycle steering for use with a stationary training system. For example, one embodiment includes a device configured to support and enable simulated steering of a bicycle front wheel, for use with a stationary training system, optionally including a sensor device configured to provide a steering signal for user by a bicycle simulator software application. Further embodiments include computer technology configured to provide bicycle simulation functionality, including steering. Simulation of steering is in some embodiments based on a combination of handlebars turning and bicycle tilt, and may account for counter-steering motions.

A motion simulator for imposing loads on an occupant, the simulator having: a movable carrier for supporting the occupant; a first drive mechanism for moving the carrier; multiple loading elements configured for attachment to the occupant when the occupant is supported by the carrier; a second drive mechanism for actuating the loading elements to apply loads to the occupant; and a controller, the controller being configured to implement a simulation of a motion event by: (i) estimating a motion of the carrier consistent with the motion event and controlling the first drive mechanism to cause the carrier to adopt the estimated motion; (ii) estimating a first load on the occupant consistent with the motion event; (iii) estimating a second load on the occupant due to the motion adopted by the carrier and (iv) controlling the second drive mechanism to cause the second drive mechanism to apply to the occupant a load that is the difference between the first estimated load and the second estimated load.

A system for virtual learning of driving a vehicle is provided. The system includes a driving unit with a steering wheel, a brake pedal, and an accelerator pedal, wherein the driving unit is activated upon receiving an activation code from a user via a computing device. A head mount device, communicatively coupled to the driving unit, displays a simulated street view to the user via the computing device, thereby training the user to operate the vehicle. A haptic generation module monitors a plurality of real-time operative parameter values during operation of the vehicle by the user; compares the plurality of current operative parameter values with a plurality of pre-defined threshold parameter values respectively; and generate a haptic feedback alert for the user based on comparison of the current operative parameter values with the plurality of predefined threshold parameter values respectively.

The present invention discloses a cycling or motorcycling simulator for recreation and physical exercise characterized by allowing left, right, and backward movements and tilts that can be controlled with the handlebars or body thrust. Structurally, the device of the present invention is divided mainly into six parts interconnected to get the device to function optimally. Thus, the simulator consists of i) a base that supports the other systems of the invention, ii) a mounting base that allows coupling the lifting system, the lower coupling system, and the lateral tilt system, iii) a frame giving a bicycle-shaped structure to the simulator, iv) a lifting system, v) a lateral tilt system, and vi) a lower coupling system; wherein the said systems control the turns and the tilt of the simulator. Because the present invention allows a greater range and variety of movements, the monotony of the exercise is reduced, and the user can exercise a greater number of muscles.
