Abstract

Nowadays, the development of modern technologies in the transportation area has increased rapidly. The latest technology is focused on autonomous vehicles. The most important aspect in autonomous vehicle control systems is safety, smooth operation and comfort. It can be provided by the natural element which is from human behavior as a reference to the autonomous control system. This paper is briefly describing the human behavior during braking for autonomous electric vehicle (AEV) control system development. To obtain the human behaviour during accelerating and braking, two units of angle sensors were installed to the accelerator and brake pedal of an electric car to measure the angle of both pedals. Real-time speed is recorded by using a GPS unit. The experiment is focused on braking characteristic of the electric vehicle. It was carried out based on four different distances with fixed initial speed before braking action was recorded. A software interface was designed to display and control real-time speed and pedal angle value during operation.
