2 DOF low cost platform for driving simulator: Modeling and control

In order to be an effective tool for driver evaluation and education, driving simulators need to be better designed to reduce simulator sickness. In this paper, we expose platform design, description and the modeling aspects of a 2 DOF low cost motion platform allowing the restitution of the longitudinal and yaw movements. To enhance the drive immersion in the virtual world, a haptic feedback steering wheel will be implemented.
