DYNAMIC IDENTIFICATION OF DRIVER-VEHICLE SYSTEM USING AR-METHOD

When investigating dynamics of a driver-vehicle system, isolation betw een driver dynamics and vehicle dynamics becomes important, because in teraction between them exists in the closed-loop system. The subject o f this study is to examine effectiveness of AR-method by which each dy namics can be identified. The AR-method applied to lane changes, usual ly having rather short duration data, provides usefullness for the iso lation. This method well reflects variation of subject drivers in iden tified results, and time series data recoverd by identified VAR-model is consistent with field data.
