Abstract:
Due to physical-mechanical limitations, dynamic driving simulators are typically used to reproduce transientphenomena.Theabsenceoftheso-called”sustainedaccelerations”isoneofthemainfactorsthatcontributes to increase the conflict between real and virtual environment, which typical produces sickness in non-trained drivers. An interesting add-on that is capable of providing the driver with sustained accelerations is the Active Seat (AS) with integrated Active Belts (AB). Although the application in static simulators is almost straightforward, its usage in dynamic ones requires a specific algorithm, capable of managing, on-line, the interaction between platformaccelerationandAS.IntheframeworkofModelPredictiveControl(MPC)weproposeaMulti-SensoryCueing Algorithm (MSCA) that computes coordinated references for the platform and for the AS/AB systems. A dynamic model of a seated human body is used to relate forces and contact pressures acting on the driver, then coupling it with the vestibular model and the platform motion. Simulative results are reported, showing the advantages in using the approach comparing a compact simulator and a giant one.
