Diseño y construcción de un simulador de vuelco para la escuela de conducción Escut en la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

The technical Project es focused on the design and construction of a rollover simulator for the ESCUT driving school in the city of Quito. The importance of it is based on the safety and awareness of students, related to rollover accidents, for this a design was made that has a correct operation, it was investigated different existing models in other countries such as: Chile, Spain, United States ; who has projects with registered patents. The security that the rollover simulator should provide was taken into account, for which the passive safety systems of the automobile were analyzed, such as: safety belt, airbag, head restraints and tensioners. To analyze the weight that the simulator will support, a classification of the cars was made, selecting the M1 class. The design parameters taken into account, the specifications generated by the manager of the driving school, among which are the dimensions, the angular speed, the material and the weight of the car. A previous design helped to correct faults and then define the final design of the project, once all the design and analysis aspect was completed, the construction of all the constituent elements of the simulator was carried out, finally the tests were carried out to verify the operation, obtaining satisfactory results that evidenced a benefit for the manager of the driving school ESCUT. Keywords: Overturning, mechanical system design, engine power, power transmission, safety factor, allowable stress.
