| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many disabled people want to stand on their own two feet, and achieving mobility is an important step in doing this. One way for them to enhance mobility is by driving automobiles to which mechanical driving-assistance devices have been attached. Mechanical devices have to be customized for users. Hence, they are inherently expensive. Autonomous cars have been developed, would solve their demand. However, they want to drive an automobile by themselves, do not want an autonomous car. We develop a driving interface that uses an angle sensor. This sensor is attached to a body part that a disabled people can control. Since other parts except this attachment unit are commonly used, this driving interface is flexible for kinds of disable; and leads them to drive an automobile by themselves. We evaluate it by an actual electric vehicle. As the result of evaluation, most participants achieved steering control that is closer to that with a steering wheel on roads that have not acute corners.
