Abstract： Aiming at the incapability of effective and vivid demonstration of the external dynamic panorama during the automobile's motion in automobile exhibitions， which are caused by a variety of factors such as the restriction of space， a practical automobile running simulation platform was designed and implemented. Taking into account both the current market demand and technological development of the actual situation， the platform was designed with the idea of relative motion and semi-physical simulation technology. Based on a model car， the system can provide running simulation of automobile's external state and panorama. It was realized by the cooperative work of the four mechanical subsystems， i.e. automobile （model）， automobile-pose control， track-pose control and effect-scenery control， and the electronic control system with two control modes， i.e. instant control and functional module control. The simulation was tested. The experimental results indicate that the system can simulate the external panorama during the running of the automobile and multiple running states can be displayed. The platform has a high use value of automobile running simulation.
