These days, in Japan, there are needs for the cars which is concerned for the environment by the spread of the using of the hybrid vehicle and electronic vehicle. In addition, there is need for the transportation for elderly people. Thus the personal mobility vehicle is expected for solving the problems such as economical uselessness, environmental and elderly society. We should study about the driving position and the vehicle operation system in order to be able to drive Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV) easily. Therefore we constructed the new Driving Simulator (DS). It can change the driving position, the operation system and the various vehicle specification which is assumed as PMV. In this research, we experimented by DS. The experiment is that draw a comparison driving position between driving operation system. In driving position, there are three different heights of heel distance that refers to distance of hip point and heel point when sit down. In driving operation system, there are a traditional steering wheel which used for various vehicle and a new operation system which is used when operate an airplane. In experiment, participants drove on double lane change course based on ISO3888-2 in respective conditions. After that we analyzed about yawrate and total steering angle of front wheel.
