A study of classification for driver conditions using driving behaviors

Prevention for car accident is one of main issue in the car-oriented society. This research aims at the development of fundamental solution for decrease the car accidents. For this purpose, driver model for evaluation of abnormal driver's operations through the handling behavior are proposed. In this paper, analysis method for driver's operations of left-turning in a intersection and sensing method using steering wheel with pressure sensors have been discussed. Through the experimental results and questionnaire survey with 11 subjects, validity of the proposed analysis method has been confirmed. And the basic design of steering wheel for sensing also defined based on the grabing style survey.
