Low cost motion platform for driving simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 embedding realism of the driver in the simulated world. Thus, the wish to increase the validity field of such tool requires more and more the integration of the haptic and kinesthetic feedback. The design of these devices which allow “sufficient” embedding is still a research topic. In this article, we present the design of a low cost motion platform which allow the restitution of 2 DOF weak movement. This overall system is considered as a two independent systems linked mechanically. The first system consists in motorised rail for the longitudinal movement while the second system consists in motorised seat allowing either pitch movement of this one or just back seat inclination.

Modeling and Identification of 2 DOF Low Cost Driving Simulator: Experimental Results
In order to be an effective tool for driver evaluation and education, driving simulators need to be better designed to reduce simulator sickness. In this paper, we expose platform design, description and the modeling aspects of a 2 DOF low cost motion platform allowing the restitution of the longitudinal and yaw movements. To enhance the drive immersion in the virtual world, a haptic feedback s...
متن کاملNonvestibular Motion Cueing in a Fixed-Base Driving Simulator: Effects on Driver Braking and Cornering Performance
Motion platforms can be used to provide vestibular cues in a driving simulator, and have been shown to reduce driving speed and acceleration. However, motion platforms are expensive devices, and alternatives for providing motion cues need to be investigated. In independent experiments, the following eight low-cost nonvestibular motion cueing systems were tested by comparing driver performance t...

متن کاملCross-platform Validation for a Model of a Low-cost Stewart Platform
Low-cost motion systems have been proposed for certain training tasks that would otherwise be performed on high-performance full flight simulators. These systems have shorter stroke actuators, lower bandwidth, and higher motion noise. The influence of these characteristics on pilot perception and control behavior is unknown, and needs to be investigated. A possible approach to this would be to ...

This paper explains the effect of a motion platform closed loop control comparing to the static condition for driving simulators on postural instability. The postural instabilities of the participants (N=18, 15 male and 3 female subjects) were measured as lateral displacements of subject body centre of pressure (YCP ) just before and after each driving session via a balance platform. After havi...
