Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we examined the driver’s steering operation which was affected with vehicle side slip angle in lane changing. We conducted experiments with driving simulator, and observed steering operation of the subjects. From the experiments, we revealed that vehicle side slip angle cause driver’s unnecessary steering input, and the vehicle is moved unsteadily with this input. Driver cannot recognize the direction of travelling correctly. And it is difficult to control two state variables, i.e. yaw rate and vehicle side slip angle, by one steering angle input simultaneously. Therefore, the vehicle without vehicle side slip angle generation can make driver operate properly.
