New driving control system with haptic feedback: Design and preliminary validation tests

Assessment of safety and ride quality based on comparative studies of a new type of universal steering wheel in 3D simulators

“…The reference trajectory line was visible in the driver's cabin. Introducing this line to the experiment enabled the subsequent use of objective measures of assessment of the quality of the drive based on analyses of the distance between the geometric center of the vehicle from the reference trajectory [5,3].…”

“…They concern a wide variety of driving problems, where different systemic solutions are analyzed, such as, for instance, joystick [9], steering wheel [7,8] or other mechatronic systems [5,3]. There were also studies on the reaction of a disabled driver performed on 3D simulators [11], as well as analyses of the safety of a disabled driver in frontal impact conditions [10].…”

Bimanual drive-by-wire system with haptic feedback

“…The drive-by-wire haptic device presented in this paper is designed for an improved driving experience, providing the capabilities of the steering wheel and the throttle and brake pedals in a single all-encompassing device [5]. Control algorithms have been specially implemented to display the users' tactile feeling, something that is lost in common driveby-wire systems, in order to regain an outstanding driving sensation.…”

“…It consists of two side-by-side mechanisms (one for each hand) that are linked by a virtual coupling [4]. Each device can control the steering, throttle and brake functionalities of a vehicle [5]. With these two coupled devices, the driver is free to drive with the right hand, the left one or may use both hands together without any interruption in drive control, similar to the conventional driving mode.…”

Educational haptic controller based on Arduino platform

“…It also allows developing a new series of advanced robotic tools for surgery [3] and teleoperation [4]. Driving technology has also taken advantage of this technology by developing haptic drive-by-wire systems that improve the maneuverability of current joystick-like devices [5]. In all cases, haptic feedback is used to improve the dexterity of the users when managing robotic and mechatronic devices by restoring the force and tactile feedback that they would feel in the real counterpart.…”
