Since it is impossible to reproduce the accelerations of a vehicle without limitations through a physically limited system (platform), it is common to use washout filters and motion cueing algorithms (MCA) to select which accelerations are reproduced and which are not. Despite the time that has passed since their development, most of these algorithms still use the classical washout algorithm. In the use of these MCAs, there is always information that is lost and, if that information is important for the purpose of the simulator (the training simulators), the result obtained by the users of that simulator will not be satisfactory. This paper shows a case study where a BMW 325Xi AUT fitted with a sensor, recorded the accelerations produced in all degrees of freedom (DOF) during several runs, and data have been introduced in mathematical simulation software (washout + kinematics + actuator simulation) of a 6DOF motion platform. The input to the system has been qualitatively compared with the output, observing that most of the simulation adequately reflects the input to the system. Still, there are three events where the accelerations are lost. These events are considered by experts to be of vital importance for the outcome of a learning process in the simulator to be adequate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22155837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,5]],"date-time":"2022-08-05T02:12:39Z","timestamp":1659665559000},"page":"5837","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Case Study on Vestibular Sensations in Driving Simulators"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2754-9592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose V.","family":"Riera","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Department, Higher Technical School of Engineering, University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Institute of Robotics, Information Technologies and Communication Research (IRTIC), University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0396-4628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergio","family":"Casas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Department, Higher Technical School of Engineering, University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Institute of Robotics, Information Technologies and Communication Research (IRTIC), University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9482-8874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Alonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology, University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Research Institute on Traffic and Road Safety (INTRAS), University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcos","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Department, Higher Technical School of Engineering, University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Institute of Robotics, Information Technologies and Communication Research (IRTIC), University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"279","DOI":"10.29252\/beat-060403","article-title":"Epidemiology of road traffic injuries among elderly people; A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"6","author":"Aghaei","year":"2018","journal-title":"Bull.
