Abstract

To experience the motion sensation of a real vehicle through a motion simulator, a motion cueing algorithm (MCA) is required to transform the vehicle motions to the driving motion platform (DMP) while respecting the physical limitations of DMP. In this aspect, the optimal washout filter (WF) extracts the optimal motion signals including linear accelerations and angular velocities for the DMP with consideration of the human vestibular model and DMP motion states using the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) technique. The LQR technique is employed to obtain the optimal and pre-defined higher order transfer functions by solving the Riccati equation. However, the Riccati equation is solved using fixed weights, leading to an inconvenient usage of the DMP workspace. In this research, a new optimal WF model is designed and developed using a neural network (NN) and a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The NN is introduced to solve the Riccati equation online while the FLC model is designed to extract the weighting matrices of the LQR technique. The proposed technique considers the physical DMP limitations online and reproduces accurate motion signals with a high degree of fidelity. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the developed optimal WF model as compared with those of existing optimal WF models.
