Evaluation of a Novel Emergency Braking Task on a Driving Simulator with Haptic Anti-Lock Braking System Feedback

Rear-end crashes are one of the leading types today. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) was designed to assist drivers during emergency situations by preventing wheel lock up, allowing retain control vehicle. Not all have knowledge and experience with ABS, especially haptic brake pedal feedback produced ABS. There studies introduce a new method train ABS using an task on simulator interactive exercise, Pedals Emergency Stop©. exercise prompt participants press in motion that is consistent feedback. Participants depressed quickly maximum travel held position “passed” trial. In Study 1, (N = 63) completed 15 trials, where it took average three trials “pass” for first time, 85% experienced their within four trials. were no differences observed between previous feeling versus those who did not prior this study thought they had enough practical tool, recommended refresher training, as well evaluating fitness drive. Suggested improvements included practice followed tests, each; passing criteria out trials; modifications presented immediately after completing each trail. 2 conducted 38) investigate proposed “passing” criteria, 95% passed Test 1. results revealed pass reasonable. Future research should examine how Stop© generalizes on-road driving.
