Optimal Race Car Motion Cueing
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores the application of numerical optimal control (NOC) to the synthesis of motion cueing algorithms for race-car simulators. These techniques are used to design washout filters that address the limitations of the commonly-employed linear quadratic Guassian (LQG) regulator and classical frequency shaping strategies. The primary disadvantage of the LQG and classical tuning methods is that they do not recognise explicitly the hardware limitations of the platform and thus have to rely on an iterative process to address workspace limitations. In two new algorithms a kinematic model of the platform is used to constrain explicitly the platform’s motion within the available workspace. The first algorithm is directed to the optimisation of the parameters of a linear washout filter, while in the second approach the platform motion is governed by an open-loop optimal control. The results of the two new algorithms are tested on race-car minimum lap-time simulations, and then compared with a linear-optimal-control based solution. The race-car scenario presents different challenges from the passenger car and aircraft contexts; these differences are discussed.

An optimal control scheme for a driving simulator
Within the framework of driving simulation, control is a key issue to providing the driver realistic motion cues. Visual stimulus (virtual reality scene) and inertial stimulus (platform motion) induce a self-motion illusion. The challenge is to provide the driver with the sensations he would feel in real car maneuvering. This is an original control problem. Indeed, the first goal is not classic...
متن کاملEfficient Motion Planning Algorithm for Stochastic Dynamic Systems with Constraints on Probability of Failure
When controlling dynamic systems such as mobile robots in uncertain environments, there is a trade off between risk and reward. For example, a race car can turn a corner faster by taking a more challenging path. This paper proposes a new approach to planning a control sequence with guaranteed risk bound. Given a stochastic dynamic model, the problem is to find a control sequence that optimizes ...
متن کاملMotion cueing algorithms for a real-time automobile driving simulator
The MCA (Motion Cueing Algorithm) for driving simulator takes into account the simulator’s workspace limits and the driver’s motion perception thresholds to reproduce simulated vehicle’s accelerations. For the motion based driving simulators, the most applied MCAs are the classical and the optimal filters. This paper presents a new algorithm, called MPC (Model Predictive Control) explicit algor...
متن کاملA Linear Quadratic Optimal Motion Cueing Algorithm Based on Human Perception
A simulator motion platform cannot exactly reproduce the longitudinal and rotational motions experienced in a real vehicle since it is constrained by its physical limits. The aim of this research is to provide a Motion Cueing Algorithm that can accurately produce vehicle accelerations and angular velocities in the simulator platform at high fidelity to give the most realistic motion, within the...
