2010 Beijing Auto Show Features Driving Simulator from Mechanical Simulation

ELECTRONICS: Geely Automobile highlighted tire blow out control technology (BMBS) using a motion-based driving simulator delivered by Mechanical Simulation Corp. The interactive driving simulator features three degrees of freedom - roll, pitch and yaw - and is controlled by the simulation software CarSim for Driving Simulators.

Mechanical Simulation developed a custom multimedia scenario, featuring the famous Hangzhou Bay Bridge, to allow visitors at the exhibition to drive a virtual Geely Panda with the BMBS systems active or disabled. With the BMBS technology integrated into CarSim, customers immediately experienced how the safety technology helps drivers maintain control of their vehicle in the event of a high-speed tire blow out.

The simulator features a 140 degree panoramic display system, operational instrument gauges, high-torque force feedback steering system, 5.1 surround sound system and multiple traffic vehicles to make the driving experience as realistic as possible.
