A dynamic control system that shapes acceleration gradients and jerk in real time based on vehicle speed, pedal input intensity, and driving scenario, balancing driver responsiveness with passenger comfort. New test-track evidence shows two-step acceleration profiles can reduce motion sickness and improve perceived safety, and optimal-control methods can generate jerk-limited speed patterns, so the system is implemented as a bounded trajectory generator rather than a lookup table. Perceived sportiness is delivered through mapping shape within hard physiological jerk ceilings that protect postural stability.
The framework reveals a high-potential innovation that successfully decouples perceived performance from physiological discomfort using optimal control. While the theoretical foundation for jerk-limiting is strong, the primary risks lie in the transition from numerical simulation to real-time embedded execution and the gap between passenger-centric comfort data and driver-centric control expectations.

Essential for balancing the strong technical evidence of jerk-reduction against the critical weaknesses of lacking human-subject driver data and real-time embeddability. · Generated 2026-10-03 by cavi/gemma4-31b-it-awq-4bit-32kAI-generated
