Mathematical Model of Skilled Driver’s Steering Pattern Based on Minimum Jerk Model

Abstract

The approximated minimum jerk model using the trigonometric functions is constructed from the original minimum jerk model which is high order function of time. When comparing maneuvers by the steering input of this model pattern and the original model, the model is almost equal to the original minimum jerk model. The combinations of the steering patterns are able to construct the various running courses such as the course change, the lane change and other trajectories in smooth steering. The analysis of the running data clarifies that the skilled drivers steer in this steering pattern as the basic steering input, except for the road disturbance and the sudden adjustment steering.
