The successful development of a three degree of freedom motion simulation platform, capable of simulating a car driving on road, is prepared. The motion simulation platform was developed to practically simulate and test an unmanned road vehicle’s capability of driving on a road, before practically being demonstrated on an actual. All aspects of the motion simulation platform’s development are considered, from the conceptual design to its practical implementation. The mechanical design and construction of a motion simulation platform, as well as the electronics and software to enable the operation of this motion simulation platform, are presented. Mathematical models of the process and platform orientation are developed. A controller architecture capable of regulating the process, resulted in the successful control of the motion simulation platform. Practical motion simulation results of Intelligent Motion Technology Pvt. Ltd, demonstrate the motion simulation platform’s success. The successful development of the motion simulation platform can largely be attributed to extensive research, planning and evaluation of the different development phases.
