A real-time recursive dynamic model for vehicle driving simulators
Authors
Abstract:
This paper presents the Real-Time Recursive Dynamics (RTRD) model that is developed for driving simulators. The model could be implemented in the Driving Simulator. The RTRD can also be used for off-line high-speed dynamics analysis, compared with commercial multibody dynamics codes, to speed up mechanical design process. An overview of RTRD is presented in the paper. Basic models for specific vehicle subsystems such as tire, steering, brake, power train, aerodynamics, etc., are interfaced with multibody dynamics to create a complete vehicle simulation model. Basic theories of each vehicle subsystem model are introduced and the interfaces with the multibody dynamic model are discussed. Required data for setting a vehicle model listed and an Army’s High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) modeling example is illustrated. For operator-in-the-loop simulation, the interface between the RTRD model and the simulator subsystems, i.e., visual, motion, audio, and terrain database, is presented. Finally, the parallel processing algorithm of RTRD model is illustrated. Benchmarks for the baseline RTRD code are analyzed using two vehicle examples, a passenger car and a tractor-semitrailer.

For the research at the IZVW (Center for Traffic Sciences at the University of Würzburg) a driving simulator was build, that consists of 11 personal computers with a 180° front projection system, 3 rear projections and a 6-6 stewart platform. Also, three other driving simulators consisting of one, two and five personal computers are used at the IZVW for different experiments. One desired goal o...

Around 55,000 people are killed each year in accidents throughout the European Community. Night-time driving with conventional headlamps is particularly unsafe: only 25% of the driving is done at night but 55% of the driving fatalities occur during this period. In order to reduce these figures, new automotive lighting technologies (Advanced Front Lighting System AFS) are about to be permitted i...

The purpose of this paper is to show that recursive procedures can be used for implementing real-time applications without harm, if a few conditions are met. These conditions ensure that upper bounds for space and time requirements can be derived at compile time. Moreover they are simple enough such that many important recursive algorithms can be implemented, for example Mergesort or recursive ...
full textUsing driving simulators to assess driving safety.
Changes in drivers, vehicles, and roadways pose substantial challenges to the transportation safety community. Crash records and naturalistic driving data are useful for examining the influence of past or existing technology on drivers, and the associations between risk factors and crashes. However, they are limited because causation cannot be established and technology not yet installed in pro...
