Development of accelerator and brake pedal position comfort ability base on Malaysian population / Davood Hooshyar
Pedal errors mention to the situation when the driver falsely presses the wrong pedal or does not press the pedal at all. A negative outcome of pedal misapplications is a sudden acceleration event, which has been related with crashes. The goal of this dissertation is to identify the factors influenc...
