Objective Motion Cueing Test for Driving Simulators

Abstract

The evaluation of motion cueing quality is a difficult task. Subjective ratings can give a hint on preferable parameter settings or algorithm design choices. Though, inter-individual rating differences are huge and evaluation results are often contradicting. Hence, the aviation community tried and succeeded in defining an objective motion cueing test during the past decade. Even though the interpretation of the results is still a topic of discussion and continuous research, the test serves as a useful tool for the design process of motion cueing algorithms. This paper presents an approach to adapt this motion cueing test for driving simulators. Evaluation results of two different motion systems and motion cueing designs are presented.
