Abstract:
Despite offering numerous advantages, driving simulators are currently not widely used in the powertrain design process. In this research a perceptual approach is presented to assess the use of driving simulators in the powertrain development. It examines to what extent dynamic driving simulators can be utilized to subjectively evaluate the effect of different powertrain variants on the drivability and agility of passenger cars. This is done by systematically evaluating the minimum perceptible difference in longitudinal acceleration profiles. As a quantifiable measure, the just noticeable difference (JND) of the absolute acceleration level and of the acceleration gradient was chosen and experimentally obtained in a study with 31 participants at the Porsche dynamic driving simulator. The results show that the participants can detect differences of 4.25 % in the absolute level and 13.89 % in the gradient. Since most engine variants typically result in higher differences, this demonstrates that driving simulators enable the subjective evaluation of different engine configurations.
