Integration of a dynamic model in a driving simulator to meet requirements of various levels of automatization

To enable the development of driver assistant systems in a driving simulator, a realistic modelling of the driving dynamics is required. A simple approach to the dynamics is using a single-track model or a double-track model. A more detailed and more realistic approach is a multi-body model. To this end, a multi-body model was integrated in the dynamic truck driving simulator and evaluated. The requirements are real-time capability, realistic driving behaviour and simulator compatibility. We increased the immersion into the simulation via realistic dynamic behaviour. Due to the multi-body model, the dynamics at starting, cornering and braking are accurately computed. Against the background of automated driving, we created opportunities for further functional extensions such as automated longitudinal and lateral control.     «
