Integrated modelling and control of linear actuator based automatic pedal pressing mechanism for low-speed driving in a road traffic delay

Sitting in traffic congestion for hours in a posture that requires recurrent actions of manually pressing the pedal and braking excessively can result in fatigue, especially on the driver's leg and back. This fatigue can have long-term implications and adversely affect the driver's health....
