An Educational Science Ride Using a Motion Flight Simulator Platform

Low cost motion platform for driving simulator

Nowadays, driving simulators are interactive virtual reality tools which take a considerable place in the human factors studies. The difficulty or impossibility to reproduce in reality some road situations mainly for risk and reproducibility reasons increases the interest of this tool. Nevertheless, the validation of the experiments carried out on driving simulator is closely related to embeddi...

Model based control of a flight simulator motion system

Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control of a Flight Simulator Motion Base

The purpose of this study is to apply sliding mode control integrated with fuzzy control for a six degree of freedom flight simulator motion system. Fuzzy logic control is included for reducing chattering phenomena. Forward and inverse kinematics and full dynamic model of six degrees of freedom motion base driven by electromechanical actuators are briefly presented. As a initial control design,...

How Do Platform Participants Respond to an Unfair Rating? An Analysis of a Ride-Sharing Platform Using a Quasi-Experiment

The rise of peer-to-peer marketplaces has led to many previously unrated commercial transactions being rated. Of course, online rating systems can lead, on occasion, to reviews that are unfair or unrepresentative of the true quality provided. On the one hand, receiving an unfairly low rating once, might induce participants to exert more effort and receive a better rating the next time. On the o...

Enhancing The Flight Simulator Experience Using HLA

Commercial Flight Simulator Packages often lack the ability for the player to know where he is on a geographical scale. Unless the player is familiar with the location of the flight there is no means to determine the direction that he must fly to reach his destination. This paper will show how the capabilities of the HLA regime allows a geographical map display to be linked directly to the flig...
