Abstract
Many accidents are caused by human operation error. Above all, many fatal accidents occur by error of the steering operation. In addition, there are many problems of the steering operation in the low speed range driving. It is known from previous studies that drivers cannot detect accurate steering angle they turn by changing of grip position. Therefore, we developed the new steering system without changing of grip position. We made the experimental vehicle which is equipped with the new steering system realized by a steer-by-wire system. We compared the new steering system with the conventional steering wheel by actual vehicle experiment and evaluated the advantage of the proposal one.
