超小型自動車の車線内走行位置の違いが自動衝突回避性能に与える影響

Personal mobility vehicles (PMV) attract our attention as a countermeasure to the social problems caused by the spread of automobiles and the serious aging society. Since PMVs have smaller widths than that of ordinary vehicles, it allows drivers to drive with flexibility of a running position within the lane. It is, therefore, necessary to investigate which running position in the lane is safe to drive. In addition, the installation of some autonomous driving systems is advanced for ordinary vehicles. It is likely that PMVs will also be equipped with driver assist systems or autonomous driving systems. In this paper, we create a model of an automatic collision avoidance system with both of an automatic braking and an automatic steering for a PMV, and simulated obstacle avoidance situations in three different running positions in the lane (center, left side and right side). As a result, the investigation of the avoidance success rate shows the running position affects the avoidance characteristics of the PMV.
