Description
Summary:•Lateral specific force scaling has a time-varying effect during curve driving simulation.•The lateral specific force can be scaled down further during the curve onset than during the remainder of the curve.•The lateral specific force can be scaled down by 30% during a curve’s sustained part.•The lateral specific force can be scaled up by at least 30% during a curve’s sustained part. In motion simulation, motion input scaling is often applied to deal with the limited motion envelopes of motion simulators. In this research, the time-varying effects of scaling the lateral specific force up or down during passive curve driving in a car driving simulation are investigated through a simulator experiment. It is concluded that lateral specific force scaling has a time-varying effect on the perceived fidelity of a curve-driving simulation. In particular, motion scaling during a curve entry is found to be less detrimental than motion scaling during a curve’s sustained part and during the curve exit.
