| Abstract | To operate driver assistance systems (DAS) at optimum effi ciency, establishment of a system evaluation method including behavior of the driver is necessary. In this study, muscle behavior during steering maneuvers has been investigated in order to create an estimation method of a driver's physical workload and an evaluation method for DAS. This paper reports on the investigation results of muscle behavior while stabilizing the steering wheel. Multiple muscles were simultaneously activated corresponding to each steering direction. When CCW direction torque was generated by the driver, it was observed that the anterior deltoid on right shoulder was activated fi rst. And then, infraspinatus was activated and fi nally the middle deltoid and pectoralis clavicular muscles were activated. |
