Towards Tramway Safety by Managing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems depending on Grades of Automation

This paper presents a preliminary study for the assessment of tram safety by managing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems depending on Grades Automation. The Grades/Levels Automation in automotive, aeronautics, maritime and railway systems are presented compared with each other. Then, according to especially implication level haptic system driving task, trams proposed. In addition system, visual one that uses Head-Up Display is defined. These designed help driver cope potential hazards having defensive driving. Therefore, proposed assistance used order propose an experimental method explore how this automation can affect performance Human-Machine System safety.
