This paper describes the development of the mechanical component of the driving dynamic simulator. The simulator can be used for learning or improving the driving technique for either professional or other drivers, and consequently increasing trafic safety. The paper closely examines and describes the theory, neccessary for devising mechanisms of the simulators, and includes general theory about different driving simulators. Components of the simulators are described and dealt with in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. We conducted a market research, including an evaluation of the current state in Slovenia. Considering the demand, we developed a morphological matrix, which served as a base for different concepts of simulators. These simulator concepts were then evaluated and the highest-ranking concept was chosen as a base for the construction of the 3D driving simulator model. We caried out the construction process with the emphasis on ergonomics and on the dimensioning of the structure. At the end of the paper we analyzed the costs of the construction of the simulator. The final result is a assembly drawing of the mechanical component dynamic driving simulator.
