In the recent years driving simulators are effectively used for vehicle system development, human factor studies and as a tool for driving training in a safe controlled environment. This paper describes a platform control for driving simulator developed for design and evaluation of full-scale driving simulators and for driver-vehicle interaction study. The simulator consists of a real time vehicle simulation system, a visual and audio system and a motion platform. The platform consists in motorised rail, is used to simulate the longitudinal accelerations. We focus here on the implementation of the generalized predictive control developed by D.W.Clarke, on the motion platform of this driving simulator. Several tests were performed to study the performance of the system. Some results are shown.
