Appropriate operation inducement by biasing perception of velocity using tactile stimulation

In this study, to define the control initiation condition that biases the perception of velocity, we investigated a boundary model that can notice a change in velocity based on the velocity and the acceleration. Additionally, we investigated the effect of noticing a change in velocity and the driver ’s response by biasing the perception of velocity. Psychophysical experiments were conducted using a driving simulator that simulates the vibration of an actual vehicle. The results showed that the change in velocity required to notice an increase or decrease in velocity was 4 km/h when the accele rations were 0.02 and 0.04 m/s\(^{2}\), − 6 km/h when the acceleration was − 0.02 m/s\(^{2}\), and − 4 km/h when the accelerations were − 0.04 and − 0.06 m/s\(^{2}\). Furthermore, by biasing the perception of velocity, we demonstrated that the participants recognized a change in velocity on a gently undulating road and appropriately operated the acceleration pedal.
