Modelling of pedals pressing mechanisms for low speed driving in road traffic delay

Road traffic delay is imminent in big cities around the world including Kuala Lumpur, due to the increase in vehicle ownership, weather condition, road blocks by authorities and ongoing infrastructure projects at particular point of the road. Previous literature shows that the average time spent by...
