This paper describes an experimental study focusing onto the way drivers use the steering wheel while performing a 2D tracking task. The stimulus during this task was a steering wheel angle signal recorded in real situations involving turns and straight lines performed at about 30 km/h. The hand positions of 20 volunteers were recorded in 6 steering scenarios involving 7 road geometries using a...

[Purpose] This research analyzed how seat distance and gender affect maximal torque and muscle strength when driving to present base data for the optimal driving posture. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 27 college students in their 20's, 15 males and 12 females. After had been measured, the subjects sat in front of a steering wheel with the distance between the steering wheel and the s...

Wireless technology has completely transformed the way we live in today’s world almost every automobile vehicle operates hard functions in a wire connection. Replacing a wired connection with wireless connection could prove to be productive in economic senses as it will have an effect on the weight, cost and performance. In this project I propose a wireless network to which will control acceler...

Ease of driving and flexibility in movements are very important for the developing automobile technology today. The aim study is to provide convenience driver by trying different modes steering system a vehicle. In this study, an electronic board has been designed 4 wheels With card made, user given opportunity choose from 3 (standard, circle, crab). that chooses according situations advantages...

BACKGROUND Approximately 5% of motor vehicle deaths are assumed to be occur because of a cardiac event thought to be triggered by multiple factors. One important factor is an imbalance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous activities, which can be measured by analyzing heart rate variability (HRV). Therefore, a system has been developed to make electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings outside...

A preliminary study on the role of torque feedback in the steering wheel was conducted on the Clio dynamic driving simulator at RENAULT. An experiment comparing different torque feedback strategies was conducted to evaluate the potential of driving simulators in the study of future steer-by-wire systems. The results indicate that drivers on the simulator can control their vehicles in curves wit...

this research presents a guidance-assistance system for agricultural swing machines. the new automatic steering system controls the vehicle based upon the position of the traces of the previous operation carried out on the field. for each image the trace of the tilled soil by seed drill is placed either on the center line, or on either side of the line. for traces coinciding with images' c...

In a typical automatic guidance system for agricultural machines, the guidance system controls only one degree of freedom; either the steering angle of the front wheels of the tractor or other steering equipment is used for steering. In a tractor with the multiple degrees of freedom, like four wheel steering, the guidance system may use both the degrees of freedom for path tracking. However, th...

Traction control system (TCS) comprises the slip control subsystem and the directional stability subsystem. The slip controller can enhance the traction performance by maintaining the slipratio within a proper range. Additional information about the lateral behavior of the vehicle is necessary to enhance the directional stability during the cornering or lane change on the slippery roads. With a...
