Abstract:
Addressing the critical need for modeling the driver’s neuromuscular dynamic characteristics in
human-machine shared driving systems, this paper introduces a neuromuscular parameter identification method
utilizing the Gauss-Newton algorithm. By constructing a single-inertia dynamic model of the driver – steering
wheel interaction system and combining electromyographic signals with steering torque data collected from real
vehicle tests under six different hand grasp positions, the method achieves precise identification of the inertia, damping, and stiffness parameters of the driver’s neuromuscular system. Experimental results show a phasor
error of 0.09 and a variance ratio of 86%, with the dynamic characteristics of the neuromuscular feedback loop
closely matching the measured data. This study provides a reliable parameter benchmark for the design of haptic
takeover control systems in autonomous vehicles and lays a theoretical foundation for predicting the dynamic
behavior of human-machine cooperative steering.
