Development of a High-Fidelity Motion Cueing Algorithm for TMotion

High-level control strategies, commonly referred to as Motion Cueing Algorithms (MCA), are used to create realistic perception of unrestricted 6 degrees-of-freedom (DoF) motion with a motion platform that has fewer DoF and a limited workspace. For instance, such an algorithm would tilt the platform towards back to emulate forward acceleration on a platform that does not support Surge (forward/backward) motion. These algorithms are generally developed as a part of the simulation project, increasing the complexity of the simulator and its development time and cost. In the competitive market of vehicle simulation, delivering better simulation realism at a lower cost is a key to every simulator’s success. Touché Technologies is seeking to embed a novel MCA within its TMotion platform and provide a turnkey solution that can be easily adapted by various simulators without any extra effort. This project aims to develop an advanced MCA with a series of innovative solutions that improve the fidelity of motion simulation and the user experience.
