Switches on the steering wheel can be handled more easily and safely with less glance time than those at the instrument panel. The maneuverability of these switches is however not yet studied thoroughly. In this study, shapes and layouts of steering wheel switches for improved maneuver-ability is presented. From measured acouisition time, the deviation from the target lane, analyzed eyes and hands movement and total evaluation of subjects, the following results were obtained. (1) Switches on the middle and upper area of steering wheel are more easily handled than those on the lower area as used in the cars available in the present markets. (2) For cars with center meter, the upper area of the steering wheel can be used to place the switches. (3) Upon having these switches along the locus of thumb-tip, target switch can be handled more easily with a little glance.
