Abstract


This paper describes the design, analysis and fabrication of fixed-base driving simulator (FBDS) frame. It consists of the concept design, design selection, weighted decision matrix, assembly design, design analysis,fabrication, fitting and final product ergonomic study of the FBDS frame. In the concept design, based on the driver cockpit and seat, three FBDS frame concepts are designed. These 3 design concepts are undergone design selection process which consists of weighted decision matrix. Among the design concepts, the winning design is selected based on factor of safety from design analysis, the lowest material cost and the minimum time required to finish fabrication. The selected design is then fabricated to produce actual product. The ergonomic study is then performed on the actual product of FBDS frame. The results show that the FBDS frame is statistically favoured by the ergonomic study. The detail items in the design selection and weighted decision matrix are practical and reasonable to be applied for other product design analysis before the product can be fabricated.
