Simulator

Hydractive III Demonstration Simulator

Our Objective: To describe and demonstrate the functions and performance of the Citro�n C5 Hydractive III suspension system.

Our Solution: The demonstration simulator synchronizes three important elements in various driving situations.

A film of synthesized images including a windshield view, external view, and zooms on technical details (suspension component, etc.)
A life-size mock-up powered by 13 motors.
A system data flow from sensors to the electronic control unit (ECU).

Exhibited in Geneva, Tokyo, and Madrid at international motor shows and in internal Citroen presentations.

Large Movement Driving Simulator

Driving simulators are now commonly used for ergonomic and technical experimentation.

To raise capacity to world-class levels, PSA (Peugeot-Citroen) requested a preliminary design for a simulator that creates realistic driving sensations. The design includes motion, sound, and haptic cueing:

Six synthetic image channels.
Seven synthetic sound channels.
Passive and active effort: haptic cueing for the pedals, gearshift, and steering wheel.
Motion cue: the hexapod has six degrees of freedom (DOF) and the rails provide two large movements.

For more information, see PSA-DSC 2007, The New PSA Peugeot-Citro�n Advanced Driving Simulator.

Virtual Reality Driver’s seat

Vehicle design makes use of virtual reality. Most elements (here car body and scenery) are virtual while others (here the driver’s seat) are real.

See PSA video for further information.
