This paper describes design, implementation, and evaluation of human driving data-based Lane Keeping Assistance System (LKAS) for electric bus equipped with a hybrid electric power steering system. The hybrid electric-power steering system used in this study means a steering system in which an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system and an Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) system are integrated into a ball-nut. A dynamic model of hybrid EPS system including EHPS system and EPS system has been developed to generate EPS torque and EHPS force corresponding to the input torque. In order to determine proper timing of LKAS intervention, driving data of electric bus drivers were collected and driving patterns were analyzed using a 2-D normal distribution probability density function. Lane information necessary for the lane-keeping assistance system is obtained from a vision camera mounted on the electric bus. Sliding mode control is used to get a Steering Wheel Angle (SWA) required for LKAS. A Proportional–Integral (PI) control is used to obtain an overlay torque required to track the target SWA. A proposed DLC threshold has been validated using vehicle simulation software, TruckSim, and MATLAB/Simulink. It is shown that the proposed DLC threshold shows good performance in both cases of slow lane departure and fast lane departure. The proposed algorithm has been successfully implemented on the electric bus and evaluated via real-world driving tests. Test scenario setting and the evaluation of performance were carried out by ISO 11270 criteria. It is shown that the algorithm successfully prevented the electric bus from unintended lane departure satisfying ISO 11270 criteria.
