In this study, riding comfort of an autonomous robotic vehicle is evaluated by KANSEI-words questionnaire. On the autonomous robotic vehicle, where the automatic traveling to the driver-specified destination is available, the cruising characteristics such as speed and turning radius have significant influence on the riding quality. Fundamental strategy for the design and the tuning of the autonomous traveling control system can be provided by clarifying their relationship. The questionnaire survey regarding the riding quality for several automatic test running is conducted based on KASEI words, which are compiled via a preliminary survey, against more than 40 participates. In this paper, the relation among the riding comfort and the cruising characteristics is clarified, and also the strategy of designing the automatics vehicle control is discussed.
