Abstract
The paper presents the innovative approach to a high-fidelity motorcycle riding simulator based on VR (Virtual Reality)-visualization, equipped with a Gough-Stewart 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) motion platform. Such a solution integrates a real-time tension sensor system as a source for highly realistic motion cueing control as well as the servomotor integrated into the steering system. Tension forces are measured at four points on the mock-up chassis, allowing a comprehensive analysis of rider interaction during various maneuvers. The simulator is developed to simulate realistic riding scenarios with immersive motion and visual feedback, enhanced with the simulation of external influences-headwind. This paper presents results of a validation study-pilot experiments conducted to evaluate selected riding scenarios and validate the innovative simulator setup, focusing on force distribution and system responsiveness to support further research in motorcycle HMI (Human-Machine Interaction), rider behavior, and training.
期刊介绍:
Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of sensors and biosensors. It publishes reviews (including comprehensive reviews on the complete sensors products), regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
