Driver Maneuvers Reconstruction based on Vehicle Traveling Data Recorder

Steering angle features prominently in accident and driver behavior analysis or other applications, but can hardly be recorded in most monitoring devices such as vehicle traveling data recorder. According to vehicle kinematics model, this paper proposes a solution for steering angle determining based on longitudinal velocity and lateral acceleration signals. Simulation and experiments have been conducted to prove the method feasibility and reliability. Furthermore, trajectory reconstruction is demonstrated as one of the many applications of the steering angle estimation.
