The Dynamic Motion Simulation Center (DMSC) at DLR's site in Oberpfaffenhofen consists of three motion simulators and enables particularly realistic flight and driving simulations.
With three motion systems, the Dynamic Motion Simulation Center (DMSC) supports a wide range of research tasks and applications in the field of motion simulation. These include preliminary investigations of new flight control algorithms, human factor studies, the optimization of motion cueing algorithms, and the investigation of fuel sloshing.
The visualazation software SimVis is developed in-house and deployed for an immversive representation of the environment. It is also the backbone for the use of mixed reality glasses in the cockpit, which can be deployed in the moving simulator despite the high occuring accelerations.
Another topic is the modeling of human dynamics. Using a 33-degree-of-freedom model that includes effects such as adaptive behavior, reaction times, and maximum muscle strength, humans can be simulated as part of the closed control loop. The insights gained from this support, for example, the design of novel flight inceptor concepts.
