Abstract
The collective goal of the driving simulation community should be to share ideas to improve the motion cueing across driving simulators worldwide. Due to the active research and intensive usage of driving simulators over the last decades, knowledge in the field of motion cueing has been gained from experience gathered by the community, or practical experience by performing dedicated experiments. This paper discusses several points of ‘common knowledge’ in designing and evaluating motion cueing, along with their value for driving simulation. The goal of the discussion in this paper is to compare these points of common knowledge to the experiences and ideas gathered at BMW’s driving simulation center in Munich, which was opened in 2021 and hosts a fleet of fourteen driving simulators. Furthermore, we aim to bring across points of interest and outlines for future research that should be of interest to the driving simulation community. With the common goal of improving motion cueing, this contribution thus aims to improve and extend the discussion between those working and researching in the driving simulator industry.
