Abstract:
A steering operation interface has been designed for disabled people that uses right and left gesture operations. A questionnaire survey on gestures made with appendages had shown that gestures other than right and left ones were not suitable for driving a car. The interface incorporates both non-linear and semi-automatic steering control. Experiments using gyro sensors and a driving simulator demonstrated that driving operation using the foot, forefinger, wrist, or lower arm after training was close to conventional steering wheel operation. Sufficient practice in using the proposed interface should therefore enable users to achieve steering control close to that achieved with a steering wheel.
