In the framework of the European CARDS Project (Eureka n°1924) several experiments were carried out on the Renault Dynamic Simulator. The objective was to assess the contribution of kinesthetic cues provided by the motion platform when executing elementary driving tasks: braking and cornering at intersections. In the braking experiment, 11 standard drivers were asked to repeat 16 times the following sequence: reach a target velocity (80 km/h), maintain this velocity constant and decelerate in order to stop as close as possible to a specific signpost. Motion platform was activated for eight successive trials and inactivated for the remaining eight trials (or reverse). Results show that motion restitution prevents subjects from reaching too high and unrealistic decelerations, which are observed in a static simulator. Moreover, an adaptation of braking behavior appears in static mode, as drivers apply increasing braking force trial after trial, whereas braking strategy remained stable in the presence of motion cues. This result is discussed in particular by analysing the first seconds of braking behaviour and respective platform motion. In the cornering experiment, drivers took 2 laps around a square city block in a simulated urban environment free of traffic, in each of four platform conditions. In these conditions, lateral cues (sway+roll alone), longitudinal cues (surge+pitch alone), both of them or none were restituted, respectively. A global effect of the presence of the motion cueing shows on the trajectory pattern of the driven vehicle inside each 90° curve. These experiments are discussed in the context of sensorimotor integration while driving. Motion cues -when present even with limited amplitude- may be integrated in the driver control loop as additional inputs, providing they are relevant to the driving task considered.
