混雑環境における搭乗者の状況認識特性を考慮した快適な自律移動方策

抄録

This study investigates an autonomous navigation method for personal mobility vehicles that is comfortable for passengers and can be used in crowded pedestrian spaces such as airports and shopping malls. Requirements for comfortable autonomous navigation were defined based on the characteristics of situation awareness related to comfort examined in our previous study, and a comfortable autonomous navigation method considering these requirements was proposed. The proposed method was evaluated by a numerical simulation and an experiment using a VR simulator to evaluate passenger comfort during autonomous navigation. The simulation and experiment results showed that the proposed method satisfies the requirements and can improve passenger comfort during autonomous navigation.
