3911 Experiment using actual vehicle on Driver Characteristics of Steering Maneuver

Abstract

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 experiment using actual car is performed in order to classify the driver's steering maneuvers. The crank course test and handling course test are performed in order to classify the driver's steering maneuvers. Experimental results show the difference of driver characteristics of steering maneuvers on various courses.
