Abstract:

Aiming at the "high cost, high consumption and high risk" of real vehicle test, a virtual simulation system of vehicle dynamics based on CarSim is developed. The real-time vehicle model is created by CarSim. A virtual scene is built in Unity3D, and an active stereoscopic display technology is used to realize the 3D visual effects. The driver's operation information is collected by simulating the steering wheel of Fanatec racing car and LabView, and the vehicle dynamics model is solved in NI-Pxie8840 controller to ensure the real-time operation. The calculated data is fed back to the driver through the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform. The results show that the virtual vehicle can follow the driver's intention, and the system has sensitive response, safe operating environment, better immersive feeling, accurate and reliable test data, which is conducive to the design and development of automobiles.

Key words: vehicle dynamics, carsim, driving simulation, real-time simulation, six-degree-of-freedom motion platform, hardware in the loop
