Abstract:With the advancement of automated vehicle technologies, it is critical to understand the knowledge gap among drivers on the limitations and safety restrictions of existing advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), which contributes to dangerous driving habits and misjudgments. For example, some ADAS include adaptive cruise control, but many drivers do not know that this feature may not function as expected in response to stationary objects. Lane departure warning systems do not always register lane markings or pavement edges with damage or covered with snow. This kind of misunderstanding has led to some highly publicized crashes. Currently, limited information is available related to crashes involving ADAS since there is no proper distinction for this kind of vehicle in current crash reporting. There is also a major concern to understand the cause and fault behind a crash involving this kind of vehicle. Without sufficient knowledge about the functionality of the technology, it is difficult for traffic incident management (TIM) personnel to determine whether the ADAS feature of a vehicle impacted a traffic incident. This study will help TIM personnel better understand ADAS technology by providing a database of commercially available vehicles incorporating this technology and training on terminology and limitations of ADAS. These findings can be used by the Utah Department of Transportation to educate both drivers and first responders.
