Effect of Fixed and sEMG-Based Adaptive Shared Steering Control on Distracted Driver Behavior

Driver distraction is a well-known cause for traffic collisions worldwide. Studies have indicated that shared steering control, which actively provides haptic guidance torque on the steering wheel, effectively improves the performance of distracted drivers. Recently, adaptive shared steering control...
