Abstract:
In the technical development of automated driving systems, it is important to validate smooth transition of vehicle control between the system and driver. Driving simulator is considered as an effective development environment for analysing driver behavior and evaluating Human Machine Interface (HMI) methods for this purpose. In this paper, we introduce our preliminary implementation of the steering apparatus in Toyota Dynamic Driving Simulator (TDDS). Since the steering system only has a simplified mechanical structure, there is a tradeoff problem between the tracking accuracy toward the system’s steering angle and smooth movement of the steer wheel at the moment of the transition. We proposed a novel control system for the relaxation of this trade-off problem by (1) constructing a Software In the Loop Simulator (SILS)-based control loop for the tracking toward the system’s steering angle, and (2) design of a co-existence region between the system and driver, where driver can maneuver the steer wheel with a haptic feedback from the system’s steering. With the proposed control, we confirmed smooth transition of steer wheel in various conditions of curve radius.
