Project's details
| Project title | Developing a Visual Platform for All-Terrain Vehicle-Riding Simulator |
| Background | All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are widely used for occupational and recreational purposes. About 700 deaths and 100,000 injuries are annually reported in the United States; Youths constitute 20% of these numbers. The injury rate of youth ATV operators is 12 times more than adults. It has been hypothesized that many youth-related ATV incidents occur because children ride ATVs that do not fit their capabilities. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate youth’s mental and physical capabilities. Agricultural Safety and Health Lab at UC Davis is developing an ATV-riding simulator to evaluate youths’ mental capabilities for riding ATVs. The simulator is already set at the University of Iowa. There is a need for developing a visual platform coupled with the ATV-riding simulator. |
| Description | This proposed project will develop Visual Simulator of the ATV riding simulator. The visual simulator includes multiple screens in front of the operator or Virtual Reality Glasses. A gaming platform will be used to simulate the visual experience of riding the ATV. In addition, the visual component will be capable of reacting to the operator’s commands through a code developed in the lab. • Simulating the real-world ATV riding experience in the lab • Synchronizing the visual platform with the commands on the ATV controls such as acceleration, hand and foot brake, gearshift control, and axillary controls |
| Deliverable | The final product is the visual platform of an ATV simulator that works based on the commands on different controls of ATV. |
| Skill set desirable | The student should be familiar with • embedded systems • virtual reality (VR) techniques • computer-aided design programs |
