Simplified dynamic analytical models of primary commands of a car, i.e. steer wheel and gearshift, are identified and developed in the paper. The dynamic models are used to design the control law of force feedback devices, which will be integrated in a car simulator. The model simulation results match satisfactorily with the experimental available data. An experimental partial assessment of control law for the gearshift simulation has been performed with a commercially available force-feedback joystick. The gearshift simulation control is implemented with an hybrid model, based on a state machine. The results are presented and discussed.
