Driver's behavior under steering assist systems is studied in this paper. Steering assist system is one of subsystems in ITS(Intelligent Transport Systems). Dual port element of electric circuit theory is proposed to analyze steering assist systems. By the use of dual port element, a(linear)steering assist system is described by 6 coefficients. In the latter part of this paper, weighted control of steering assist systems is proposed. Weighted control can be expanded to a variety of steering assist systems by changing the weighted function. Drivers' test of the system is done by a driving simulator. The results show that there is interference between the driver and system if weights of them are around halves.
