Haptic feedback models for driving simulator - vibrating seat and haptic feedback steering wheel

Abstract

The study presents preliminary technical results (i.e. without human factor studies), concerning the integration of the haptic interaction modality on a static (i.e. fixed) vehicle cabin. Traditionally the cabin is mounted on a 6 or less degree of freedom robotic platform to make movements perceivable by the operator. We are investigating the actual limitations in terms of simulator functionality and human factors when using simple basic solutions.
