Topological and Kinematic Analysis of a 6-DOF Driving Simulator

Abstract:

Driving simulators represent a novel way to reproduce the movements of a vehicle with the purpose of testing different cars, to prevent dangerous situations, entertainment and also to train the professional drivers. More, they are used to render the effects of the interactions between the car and the road, as a consequence of the constrains imposed by the road: different folds, cavities. This work presents the topological synthesis, the kinematic analysis and the virtual modeling of driving simulator. The mechanical structure of the simulator is modeled in the Matlab/Simulink environment, generally used the advantages of numerical solutions.
