A Comparative Study of Clustering Analysis Method for Driver’s Steering Intention Classification and Identification under Different Typical Conditions

Driver’s intention classification and identification is identified as the key technology for intelligent vehicles and is widely used in a variety of advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS). To study driver’s steering intention under different typical operating conditions, five driving school coaches of different ages and genders are selected as the test drivers for a real vehicle test. Four kinds of typical car steering condition test data with four different vehicles are collected. Test data are filtered by the Butterworth filter and are used for extracting the driver steering characteristic parameters. Based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the three kinds of clustering analysis methods, including the Fuzzy C-Means algorithm (FCM), the Gustafson
