Résumé
Nowadays, driving simulators are interactive virtual reality tools which take a considerable place in the human factors studies. The difficulty or impossibility to reproduce in reality some road situations mainly for risk and reproducibility reasons increases the interest of this tool. Nevertheless, the validation of the experiments carried out on driving simulator is closely related to embedding realism of the driver in the simulated world. Thus, the wish to increase the validity field of such tool requires more and more the integration of the haptic and kinesthetic feedback. The design of these devices which allow "sufficient" embedding is still a research topic. In this article, we present the design of a low cost motion platform which allow the restitution of 2 DOF weak movement. This overall system is considered as a two independent systems linked mechanically. The first system consists in motorised rail for the longitudinal movement while the second system consists in motorised seat allowing either pitch movement of this one or just back seat inclination.
