Description
Summary:This paper describes the development of motion platform for vehicle driving simulator in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). In this project, the visual database system that simulates the driving environment and the vehicle dynamic model that computes the vehicle response are integrated with a motion platform to simulate the motion of a vehicle in virtual environment. The motion platform design is based on 6-DOF Stewart platform design configuration. An Inverse kinematics model for the Stewart Platform and Independent Vehicle Dynamic Model (iVDM) are developed using MATLAB Simulink. The independent Vehicle Dynamic Model (iVDM) serves as an agent for performance investigation of the inverse kinematics model.
