Design and development are presented for an electronic control system for driving simulators for the evaluation of driving capacities of the physically handicapped. This experimental equipment permits adaptations best adjusted to the necessities of each user, including ergonomics and safety of the drivers seat. The study presents the definition and development of the electronic system of the equipment. It is also shown that the abilities of the driver in controlling the vehicle can be evaluated effectively, integrating instrumentation, data acquisition systems, equipment for simulation and data recording, system for control of steering, and appropriate software within the structure of the simulator. The control software permits the control of variables such as forces, displacements, and interaction with auxiliary controls. Results obtained permit the conclusion that with the proposed simulator/evaluator the driving capacity of each person may be determined.
