Abstract

This report presents the project in developing a drive simulator for vehicle dynamics study purposes. The project involves the development of virtual reality drive simulator and the modeling of 8 Degree of Freedom vehicle model. This project will enable researchers to conduct experiments and testing similar to actual ones. The result generated by this program is easy to be comprehended by all level of society. This project will project will take into account the tire model analysis and animation in virtual reality. The drive simulator will be constructed based on Vehicle System Dynamic study. The tire model chosen for this study is mainly based on “tire and Vehicle Dynamics” by Hans. B. Pacejka. Using Pacejka’s tire model, the forces will be obtained to complete the simulation of the drive simulator. The simulation will be performed in Simulink and MATLAB. The visualization will be done by Virtual Reality Modeling Language. In virtual reality, a 3D graphic separated into child and parent. The system will be running based on coordinate system in VRML. The definition of the coordinate system in VRML is different from the one used in MATLAB or Simulink. The input to this program is through a steering wheel to computer which will give an actual simulation of a real driver in virtual reality.
