Abstract Recently, haptic guidance technologies have been proposed to enhance driving safety. This study concentrates on the influence of haptic guidance on driving behaviours estimated using mechanical arm admittance, while facing critical driving situation. We constructed an adaptable haptic guidance model, which can assist a driver to follow an ideal trajectory, with real-time steering feedback based on the monitoring of the lateral position and the yaw angle of the vehicle. In a driving simulator experiment, fourteen participants experienced seven designs of the haptic guidance model under three different amplitudes of steering perturbations. For high steering perturbation amplitudes, haptic guidance was effective in increasing arm stiffness leading to an improvement of the steering stability. For low steering perturbation amplitudes, arm stiffness was decreased by haptic guidance but the trajectory stability was enhanced.
