Analysis of Human Behaviour while Controlling the Steering Wheel of a Buggy Electric Vehicle (EV)

Abstract

Human ability to make a decision and recognize pattern are based on their intelligence level and experience. This ability makes the driver alert and knows what they need to do at certain situations. This paper aims to study human behavior while driving the vehicle at the desired path. Certain criteria subjects are selected with the purpose to study their driving pattern. The subjects must own a driving license and driving experience less than 10 years. The subject then drives the vehicle at the designed paths, which is straight and right turn. The drive pattern for the subjects shows a similar pattern but different characteristics. The experiments used to create a fuzzy controller that imitate human behavior while controlling the steering wheel. The steering wheel angle, position, heading and speed of the vehicle are recorded during the experiments. This paper only focus on the analysis of human behaviour based on steering wheel angle recorded.
