This is a driving test simulator developed to provide a low-cost realistic immersive driving environment. To construct the immersive simulated driving environment, we have used a VR headset and a driving set to construct the environment. The VR headset can track the user’s head's moving behaviours while driving.

Requirements and Technologies
Key needs include:
Supporting Technologies:
Architecture or Level System Design:
There are a total of 3 components that construct the driving test simulator: User, VR headset, Personal Computer (PC), and Driving wheelset. Based on these 3 components, we have designed 2 types of systems for users with different devices they have owned.

The driving simulator offers two core modes:
The system integrates VR technology with steering wheel hardware to create a realistic, immersive driving experience. Users engage with dynamic, lifelike environments that simulate real-world road conditions.
At its core, the system features an intelligent assessment engine that uses data analytics and context-aware algorithms to:
It blends immersive tech with smart evaluation to help users train effectively and gain confidence behind the virtual wheel.

Mock Test
The driving test mode is structured to replicate a standard driving test, with the scenario range chosen to be one of the test sections at the Zhong Yi Street test center. The system evaluates user performance against pre-defined criteria and provides detailed feedback after the test.

User interface
The user interface is designed to be clear and easy to use, with a dashboard interface that displays real-time data and highlights key information through HUD alerts.

Traffic
The traffic system is designed to mimic real-world dynamics through timer-controlled traffic signals and user-operated, crosswalk use to create realistic driving conditions.

NPC
The NPC, as a model in a contingency, has a complete course of action and action animation, which is triggered by the player passing an animation trigger during normal gameplay.

The team successfully achieved the core goal of delivering an immersive VR driving simulation using steering wheels and virtual environments. The simulator:
Current Limitations
The project lays a solid foundation for an engaging and educational driving simulator with plenty of room to grow.
