Overview

INDICA project relies the design and realization of a forklift motion-based driving simulator. The simulator can reply on the driver the physiological feelings produced by the vehicle dynamic (acceleration, breaking, steering, etc.); the driver can control the simulator by using primary commands (steering wheel, pedals, leverages) obtaining the same physic sensations that he would perceive if he was driving a real forklift. Typical paper mill scenarios are digitally reproduced;they are showed in the front and the rear side of the driver by the means of a visualization system. This permitt to simulate both the forward and rear driving of the vehicle.
