This study presents the design and manufacture of a low-cost driving simulator device that achieves results comparable to advanced simulation devices with a high cost. The aim is to use it in a variety of laboratory studies to understand the behaviour and performance of the driver and vehicle and in designing the elements of the road infrastructure and using it as a driving training device. (51) participants of both genders and of different ages participated in the performance of driving experiences in the city environment scenario, where the experiment lasted (30) minutes for the purpose of evaluating the validity of the manufactured simulator by filling out a questionnaire consisting of (9) questions. The results indicate that all participants (100%) were impressed with the design of the device, the ease of use of the device’s controls (steering wheel, gearbox and pedals) and the realism of the approved driving simulation program, and by (52.9%) the simulated experience was very good. With a percentage of (96.1%), they evaluated the device between the device being (realistic - very realistic) (100%), and the participants evaluated the device on a scale of (0-100). The summary of the results is that the device has a high acceptance.
