Overview
Objectives:
The main scope of the project was to initiate a technical framework for studying manual and automated high-speed driving of long vehicle combinations (LVCs) in a driving simulator environment.
Methodology:
The included parts are:
- Implementation and validation of a rigid truck solo 6x2 (reference vehicle) and an A-double LVC model, which together with the motion queuing system emulates the vehicle dynamics to the driver. This in order to accomplish satisfactory realism in regards to truck vehicle dynamics.
- Evaluation of the road environment developed in the ViP project Known Roads (Nåbo, Andhill et al., 2015). The road description includes profiles of the road curvature, elevation, lateral inclination, and the surface roughness. Detailed vertical road input per wheel was accounted for as input to the vehicle dynamic models. This in order to accomplish satisfactory realism in regards to road environment.
- Evaluation and comparison of manual and automated driving of an LVC using a driving simulator study including professional truck drivers.
