Analysis of the Driver's Head Motions and Steering Maneuvers in Slalom Running

Abstract

In the motion control by the suspension system, it is important to evaluate driver's pose keeping and steering control to stabilize vehicle attitude. In this paper, analysis of driving maneuvers in slalom running has been executed by using newly designed rolling simulator and the car.
As the result, it was confirmed that steering control including driver's head motion was analyzed and visual information and the size of roll angle took part in steering control. We report the result that was analyzed about a steerage function of a driver in a human-car corollary.
