Quasi-optimal control of a moving-base simulatorThe optimal control of a degree-of-freedom moving-base simulator is considered. The quasi-optimal control method due to Friedland was utilized. The problem, in broad terms, was to determine a control law for moving the simulator cab so that its motion would: (1) best approximate the desired aircraft response, and (2) not exceed the limited translational capability of the simulator. A variety of optimal responses were obtained by the method which emphasized different features of the response which were thought to be important in motion perception. Examples of such results are given, and the considerations important in initial subjective evaluations by experienced flight personnel are discussed.
