A study on cueing strategies for curve driving in Desdemona

conference paper
Desdemona has a fully gimbaled cabin that can, additionally, move vertically plus or minus 1 meter and slide horizontally along an 8 meter track. The track rotates around a central axis, providing a 4 meter long centrifuge arm that can be used to generate sustained accelerations at the cabin. This unique simulator requires specially designed motion filters that can take advantage of the wide motion space. More specifically, the solution of how to combine the traditional onset cues with the centrifuge motion to provide both the high frequency and the sustained accelerations in a realistic manner, is still to be perfected. A study on cueing algorithms for the simulation of curve driving in Desdemona is presented. The results, in terms of angular acceleration and specific forces at the cabin, are discussed and compared to standard hexapod solutions.
