This study measured five vehicle motions: the steering wheel angle, steering wheel torque, lateral acceleration, roll angle, and yaw velocity. The EMG activity for 19 muscles and vehicle motions was applied for envelope detection. There was a significantly high positive correlation between muscles (mean correlation coefficient) for sternocleidomastoid (0.62) and biceps brachii (0.71) and vehicle motions for steering wheel angle, steering wheel torque, lateral acceleration, and yaw velocity, but a negative correlation between the muscles for middle deltoid (\u22120.75) and triceps brachii long head (\u22120.78) and these vehicle motions. The ANOVA test was used to analyze statistically significant differences in the main and interaction effects of muscle and vehicle speed. The mean absolute correlation coefficient exhibited an increasing trend with the increasing vehicle speed for the muscles (increasing rate%): upper trapezius (30.5%), pectoralis major sternal (38.7%), serratus anterior (13.3%), and biceps brachii (11.0%). The mean absolute correlation coefficient showed a decreasing trend with increasing vehicle speed for the masseter (\u22129.6%), sternocleidomastoid (\u221212.9%), middle deltoid (\u22125.5%), posterior deltoid (\u221220.0%), pectoralis major clavicular (\u221213.4%), and triceps brachii long head (\u22126.3%). The sternocleidomastoid muscle may decrease with increasing vehicle speed as the neck rotation decreases. As shoulder stabilizers, the upper trapezius, pectoralis major sternal, and serratus anterior muscles are considered to play a primary role in maintaining body balance. This study suggests that the primary muscles reflecting vehicle motions include the sternocleidomastoid, deltoid, upper trapezius, pectoralis major sternal, serratus anterior, biceps, and triceps muscles under real driving conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24185982","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,16]],"date-time":"2024-09-16T11:36:37Z","timestamp":1726486597000},"page":"5982","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Correlation between Muscular Activity and Vehicle Motion during Double Lane Change Driving"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7348-3272","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Myung-Chul","family":"Jung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering, Ajou University, 206, World Cup-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si 16499, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6330-8174","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seung-Min","family":"Mo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Safety and Health Management, Osan University, 45 Cheonghak-ro, Osan-si 18119, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1040","DOI":"10.1016\/j.energy.2018.11.052","article-title":"A novel approach for electric powertrain optimization considering vehicle power performance, energy consumption and ride comfort","volume":"167","author":"Lei","year":"2019","journal-title":"Energy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"850","DOI":"10.1287\/trsc.2017.0768","article-title":"Stable matching for dynamic ride-sharing systems","volume":"52","author":"Wang","year":"2017","journal-title":"Transp.
