ACTUATABLE MOTION BASE SYSTEM

A method in accordance with present embodiments includes receiving a signal that a vehicle is positioned on a motion base system (10); and actuating a plurality of motion bases (12) of the motion base system (10) to actuate independently of one another to cause the vehicle to roll, pitch, or heave. Actuating the plurality of motion bases (12) includes providing a first signal to an electrical actuator (58) associated with a first motion base (12); actuating a movable deck (40) of the first motion base (12) to move a first distance relative to its housing ( 42) at a first time point; providing a second signal to an electrical actuator (58) associated with a second motion base (12); and actuating a movable deck (40) of the second motion base ( 12) to move a second distance relative to its housing ( 42) at the first time point.
