Pedal error naturalistic driving study among Malaysian drivers
The article discussed about pedal misapplication or pedal error among Malaysian drivers. The variability of driver’s foot movement could result in an error in foot placement. The farther the foot from the intended pedal, the larger the potential errors to occur while hitting the pedal. The goal...

| Summary: | The article discussed about pedal misapplication or
pedal error among Malaysian drivers. The variability
of driver’s foot movement could result in an error in
foot placement. The farther the foot from the
intended pedal, the larger the potential errors to
occur while hitting the pedal. The goals of this
research are to conduct a study to determine the
Malaysian driver’s foot placement on pedal and the
total emergency braking response during the
normal driving and emergency braking situation,
and also to define the sources of foot placement
errors and factors which contributing to the wrong
pedal placement among Malaysian drivers. The
scopes of this research are to develop a test setup
to determine the foot placement on pedal by using
video observation and measure the total
emergency braking response by using force sensor,
to determine the source of foot placement errors
and to define the factors contributing to the wrong
pedal placement. The study is limited to automatic
transmission car, Malaysian drivers aged from 20 to
65 years old. In order to conduct the naturalistic
driving test, an instrumented car is prepared and
equipped with some important instruments such as
cameras, force pressure sensor, light cue device,
audio cue device and Arduino hardware. A study
has been successfully conducted to determine the
Malaysian driver’s foot placement on the pedal
during the emergency braking. According to our
research, 10% of the participants from the driving
study conducted use both legs while driving and
press the brake pedal using their left foot during
emergency braking. It is dangerous for other drivers
because the brake light can turn on at any time,
causing other drivers to become distracted. |
