Abstract
Passenger’s passive motion, results from vehicle motion, impacts on ride quality. So, we built the methodology to explore desirable passenger body motion, under a fixed driving task, by employing inverse dynamics analysis based on optimal control. First, we embedded passenger body model in vehicle model along strict formulation. Next, we developed soft sensor model so that acceleration and jerk can be integrated to the cost function for minimizing by optimal control. Then, inverse dynamics simulation was becoming executable to derive vehicle motion meets to the aiming passenger’s passive motion. Designing passenger motion will lead to the understanding of human perception on vehicle.
