Driving simulator motion cueing development for the non-linear handling regime

This paper presents the results of a study to evaluate the suitability of two new driving simulator motion cueing algorithms for driving in the non-linear region of vehicle behaviour. The new algorithms are a Model Predictive Control (MPC)-based algorithm with constraints based on actuator states, and an algorithm based around the use of the vehicle sideslip angle as the demanded platform yaw angle. The results indicate that the body sideslip algorithm is preferred to the MPC and standard filter-based algorithms, with the more experienced participants also expressing a liking for the MPC algorithm.
