Abstract
The purpose of this work was to compare simulator and surface electromyography (sEMG) variables between fixed base (FBDS) and dynamic driving (DDS) simulation conditions using a hexapod robot based driving simulator during 90 degree turning manoeuvers. Nine males and nine females, who wore a light-weight head mounted display to provide the visual input, drove faster in the DDS leading to faster turn exit velocities and turn completion times. For sEMG variables, one of the most common findings was that when making left turns, higher muscle activity was observed in the DDS. This suggests that DDS driving does differ from FBDS driving. Information provided by this work shows that simulator movement affects muscle activation, therefore, care should be taken when interpreting results from FBDS to not assume that similar results would be found in DDS, and by extension naturalistic driving.
