This paper is concerned with a quantitative classification based on driver characteristics of steering maneuvers. The evaluation indexes that can be used for quantifying differences of driver groups such as experimental driver or beginner driver are proposed. The slalom test and the crank course test are performed in order to classify the driver's steering maneuvers using the driving simulator that has 6 degrees of freedom motion base and turntable. It is demonstrated in this investigation that the method can be effectively used for classify an important characteristics of driver's steering maneuvers. The proposed evaluation indexes are verified by experimental test with 24 subjects.
