Abstract

In the E2V project we participated in the development of an innovative electric two-wheel vehicle for closed, non-urban spaces like parklands. In order to enable usage by handicapped and persons without a driving license, the vehicle was designed to be steered with a sidestick which was placed centrally between the two passenger seats. The active sidestick allowed for haptic feedback, e.g. warning the driver when the road is left. Using an OpenDS-based driving simulator, we experimentally compared four different sidestick configurations to identify a secure, efficient and comfortable steering concept. A longitudinally isometric configuration turned out as most popular, but the actual differences were insignificant.
