Abstract:Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) provides a promising approach to reduce speeding. A core principle of ISA is real-time feedback that lets drivers know when they are driving over the speed limit. The overall goal of the study was to provide insight into the effectiveness and acceptance by young drivers in the United States, of an ISA consisting of an Active Accelerator Pedal (AAP) system using haptic feedback (pedal resistance) to promote specific driving behavior. This project adapted the AAP from an earlier study that used haptic feedback to promote seat belt use. For this study, an upgraded AAP, speed mapping software, and a data logger were installed in two vehicles used for data collection. The AAP provided increased accelerator pedal resistance that required more effort to push the accelerator pedal whenever the driver exceeded the speed limit. It returned to normal pedal force when the vehicle speed dropped back to or below the speed limit. Researchers conducted two separate studies with young drivers (18-24 years old) to examine AAP effects on speeding, driver workload, and satisfaction with the system.
