Abstract

This study presents the challenge of considering a joystick to safely control a vehicle with partially automated system. This study answered two research questions. One is related to the safety of joystick control, the other is related to the functionality. 24 elderly drivers who had not been trained in joystick control participated in the driving simulation experiment. The driving simulator with joystick device simulated the highway scenario for collecting the driver behavior when they control the vehicle with ADAS support. The result showed that most of the participants were able to control the vehicle by joystick to safely overtake and lane changes under certain road condition. Also, this study found that the characteristic of using joystick for choosing to change the lane is about 1.6 s longer than conventional steering wheel condition, and the mental workload of the joystick control was significantly higher than when the driver using steering wheel.
