Standard Adjustment Range

For a vehicle fleet ranging from casual sports cars over limousines to small SUV, typically the standard seat reference point adjustment, listed below, will be sufficient to cover the requirements:

• Longitudinal (TX) = 400 mm
• Vertical (TZ) = 300 mm
• Pitch (RY) = 15 degrees

Extended Adjustment Range

For a vehicle fleet ranging from extreme sports cars over limousines to large SUV, typically the seat reference point adjustment, listed below, will be necessary to cover the extended requirements:

• Longitudinal (TX) = 600 mm
• Vertical (TZ) = 400 mm
• Pitch (RY) = 15 degrees

Standard Adjustment Range 2 Seats

For a vehicle fleet ranging from casual sports cars over limousines to small SUV, typically the standard seat reference point adjustment, listed below, will be sufficient to cover the requirements:

• Longitudinal (TX) = 400 mm
• Vertical (TZ) = 300 mm

Standard 3 DOF Adjustments

Given that all vehicles have x-axis parallel steering columns, the adjustments listed below should be sufficient to cover the requirements:

• Longitudinal (TX) = 200 mm
• Vertical (TZ) = 150 mm
• Pitch (RY) = 25 degrees

Enhanced 5 DOF Adjustments

In case some vehicles have steering columns which are not parallel to the vehicle’s x-axis, two additional degrees of freedom, i.e., in total 5 DOF will be required:

• Longitudinal (TX) = 200 mm
• Lateral (TY) = 100 mm
• Vertical (TZ) = 150 mm
• Pitch (RY) = 25 degrees
• Yaw (RZ) = +/- 5 degrees

• Vertical (TZ) = 150 mm
• Pitch (RY) = 25 degrees
• Yaw (RZ) = +/- 5 degrees

Manually Adjustable Pedals

If the focus of investigation is not on the precise pedal position, usually a single, manually adjusted carrier for throttle and brake pedal combined, with 3 degrees of freedom, will meet the requirements:

• Longitudinal (TX) = 150 mm
• Vertical (TZ) = 150 mm
• Pitch (RY) = 30 degrees

CNC Adjustable Pedals

If the focus of investigation is on the precise driver’s ball-of-foot position for brake, throttle and footrest, a CNC carrier with individual movement for each pedal, leading to the 8 degrees of freedom listed below, will be required:

• Throttle Longitudinal (TX) = 150 mm
• Throttle Vertical (TZ) = 150 mm
• Throttle Pitch (RY) = 30 degrees
• Brake Longitudinal (TX) = 150 mm
• Brake Vertical (TZ) = 150 mm
• Brake Pitch (RY) = 30 degrees
• Foot Rest Longitudinal (TX) = 150 mm
• Foot Rest Pitch (RY) = 30 degrees

SENSO Drive Force Feedback Steering & Pedals

SENSO Drive is an established industry standard for professional force feedback devices on driving simulators. We mount the force feedback steering SD-LC with a maximum torque of 16 Nm and the passive pedals.

The integration of the SENSO steering and pedals with the real-time vehicle dynamics simulation software CarMaker of IPG Automotive is available with our Virtual Test Drive Server

Center Console Module

The center console module allows for correct positioning of the armrest and/or the central touch screen relative to the positioned seat reference point. The armrest needs to be supplied by the customer.

Individually designed for CNC adjustment with 4 degrees of freedom:

• Longitudinal (TX) = 500 mm
• Lateral (TY) = 200 mm
• Vertical (TZ) = 300 mm
• Pitch (RY) = 5 degrees

Street Level Platform

The platform is adjustable in height to match the vertical distance between street level and driver heal point for a realistic experience when getting into the vehicle and when exiting.

The platform is operated by electric drives but by default not computer numerically controlled. Adjustment is possible in increments of 5 mm. The LCD display on the switch indicates the current height. The switch includes a memory function for 4 positions.

• Vertical (TZ) = 500 mm
• Max. load = 350 kg

CNC Controller Software

The CNC Controller Software operates all Festo positioning drives based on EtherCAT in closed-loop mode.

The software imports multiple vehicle’s ergonomics data from an Excel database. Operation of the seating buck is then simply by selecting one vehicle from the dropdown list and clicking the „Position Seating Buck“ button.

The software also features an MQTT client – the evolving standard for the internet of things. This allows for the operation of the seating buck from any 3rd party application or device supporting MQTT.

The software license is perpetual and includes 12 months maintenance.

Ergonomics Plugin for VRED

The Ergonomics Plugin for Autodesk VRED synchronizes the seating buck operation with the virtual reality scene in VRED.

Seat, steering, etc. reference points, travel envelopes and more is imported from an Excel database into VRED. All seating buck adjustments can be operated directly from within VRED.

The software license is perpetual and includes 12 months maintenance.
