The setup of a driving simulator which is used for the investigation of human behavior in guiding motor vehicles is described. The front part of a fully equipped car body serves as a mock-up for the driver. The simulation of lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics is based on simplified motion equations and characteristics implemented on a digital process computer. An electronic visual outside world simulation generates a synthetic, central perspective view of a two lane road according to vehicle motions. The driving noise is composed of simulated engine, tire, and wind noise. The simulator mock-up can be rotated in degrees of freedom (roll and pitch) by an electro-hydraulic servosystem. Steering wheel forces are provided by an electromechanical servosystem corresponding to a static characteristic with hysteresis. The data transfer between the simulator components, the simulation mode control, and data acquisition is coordinated by a digital process computer which also solves the dynamic equations of vehicle motion in real time.
