Experienced drivers performed simple steering maneuvers in the absence of continuous visual input. Experiments conducted in a driving simulator assessed drivers' performance of lane corrections during brief visual occlusion and examined the visual cues that guide steering. The dependence of steering behavior on heading, speed, and lateral position at the start of the maneuver was measured. Driv...

Steering wheel controls have become an essential interface for interacting with in-car human machine interfaces. The increase in both number and complexity of features in the car challenges the scalability of button-based mechanical steering wheel interfaces. Alternatives such as touch input are making their way into steering wheels of mass production cars. Multi-level force input adds a degree...

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been successfully applied to autonomous driving tasks, many in an endto-end manner. Previous end-to-end steering control methods take an image or an image sequence as the input and directly predict the steering angle with CNN. Although single task learning on steering angles has reported good performances, the steering angle alone is not sufficient for v...

Development of vehicle active steering collision avoidance systems calls for mathematical models capable of predicting a human driver’s response so as to reduce the cost involved in field tests whilst accelerate product development. This article provides a discussion on the paradigms that may be used for modelling a driver’s steering interaction with vehicle collision avoidance control in path-...

Recent advances toward steer-by-wire technology have promised significant improvements in vehicle handling performance and safety. While the complete separation of the steering wheel from the road wheels provides exciting opportunities for vehicle dynamics control, it also presents practical problems for steering control. This thesis begins by addressing some of the issues associated with contr...

A self-propelled agricultural sprayer was modified to enable both front and rear wheel steering through electrohydraulic control valves. These modifications, in conjunction with a digital controller, enabled the vehicle to be four-wheel steered in multiple modes. The research focused on modeling and evaluating the effect of multi-mode four-wheel steering on vehicle handling characteristics and ...

This study examined age related decrements in the use of optical flow and landmark information for the control of steering. Older and younger drivers viewed computer generated displays simulating vehicle motion through a random dot ground plane scene. The horizontal position of the driver was perturbed according a sum of sines function and the driver had to keep steering straight (resembling th...

In this paper, an intelligent electric power steering system is proposed to replace a traditional hydraulic power steering system and implemented in a real light hybrid electric vehicle. An intelligent fuzzy control algorithm is applied to yield basic assist logic, return compensation logic, damping compensation logic, and inertia compensation logic in an assist steering system. According to st...

In this study a musculoskeletal model of driver steering maneuver was established. The model was driven by the steering angle and steering torque when performing typical steering test. The simulation was calculated using inverse dynamics. Maximum muscle activity and the muscle activity of each muscle were studied afterwards. The key muscles that generated steering torque were scapular portion o...

Active steering system of railway vehicles has proven its ability to bridge the gap between stability and curve friendliness. Generally scaled railway vehicles were developed to reproduce the fundamental dynamic behavior of the full size railway vehicle in laboratory conditions. This paper describes the design of the braking/traction control systems as a part of a 1/5 scaled railway vehicle for...
