Abstract:Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are rapidly being developed and deployed, with an increasing number of new passenger vehicles equipped with advanced ADAS. These systems promise to improve safety by assisting drivers. However, there exists a critical gap in our understanding of the potential impacts associated with driver over-reliance and disengagement in vehicles equipped with ADAS. To address these issues, this research was undertaken with three broad objectives. The first was to understand the current state of commercially available ADAS. The second was to understand driver knowledge about ADAS technologies and functionalities using a survey study. Lastly, this research involved the development and evaluation of approaches to improve drivers’ understanding of ADAS functionalities and the role and responsibilities of the driver. This included an experimental driving simulator study to examine the impact of training on drivers’ mental models. This document reports on this research project, with details about the methods and outcomes for each of the above-stated objectives. The outcome of this research includes an understanding of manufacturer offerings of common ADAS technologies in late-model vehicles, an examination, and drivers’ understanding and perceptions of ADAS technologies, and evidence that targeted training may increase drivers’ understanding of these systems.
