Description
Summary:This paper presents the various stages for the construction of a two wheeled riding simulator. Despite its simplicity, the particularity of this simulator comes from the possibility to reproduce most of the movements and the inertial effects allowing to perceive sensations close to reality cases. This simulator has been developed for two purposes: ldr as a training tool for new riders with different scenarios: normal traffic environment, dangerous riding situations (avoidance, emergency braking, nearly failling or slipping situations, bad weather conditions, etc.) ldr to study riders behaviours in such situations Our studies have lead to an original 5 degrees of freedom (DOF) mechanical platform including a double haptic feedback on the handlebar. The three basic movements are classical and consist of pitch, roll and yaw one. The choices of the platform movements and the system actuation are motivated and described. Also, some performances results are shown validating the initial requirements.
