SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION BASED INVERSE KINEMATICS ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF A MULTI-DOF ROAD SIMULATOR

This paper presents, system identification based inverse kinematics analysis and control of a multi‐DOF road simulator. Multi‐DOF road simulators are special devices which are widely used to perform road profiles to a vehicle in laboratory environments. In this paper a road simulator mechanism is virtually designed and inverse kinematics analysis is derived without using any mathematical expression. System identification method is used for inverse kinematics analysis and then controlled to perform desired positions of the vehicle wheel center point.
