Study on Driving Behavior Considered Vehicle Characteristics of Personal Mobility Vehicle with Lean Mechanism

Abstract

In this research, we investigate an adaptability of drivers to a personal mobility vehicle (PMV) using lean mechanism. In order to evaluate PMV with a lean mechanism considering driver's feeling, the purpose is to establish an evaluation method in human-car system. Experiments were conducted with multiple vehicle characteristics using a driving simulator. In this report, we analyzed for the steering angle focused on the input of the driver. First, it was confirmed that the steering angle really obtained with DS depends on the steering characteristics. Next, we confirmed that the tendency of the trajectory was different from the difference in equivalent preview time. Finally, the frequency characteristics of the adjustable steering were examined. As a result, there was a difference in reproducibility. And this difference may be a method of expressing driver characteristics.
