The study deals with the use of the driver’s brain activity for wireless remote control of the pneumatic actuator exerting pressure on the secondary foot brake pedal. The conducted experimental tests confirm that bioelectrical signals (BES) induced by muscle tension within the head can be used for wireless remote control of a pneumatic actuator to exert a pressure force on a foot brake pedal for disabled drivers during car emergency braking. It has been shown that the BES artefacts generated by muscular tension inside the head (e.g., movement of the face and eyelids, clenching of jaws, and pressing the tongue on the palate) are the easiest to control of the pneumatic
systems. The proposed car braking assistance system controlled by the driver’s brain activity can improve the driving safety of disabled people, e.g., by reducing the reaction time of pneumatically assisted emergency braking.
