Effect of active cruise control design on glance behaviour and driving performance

چکیده
Minimising driver distraction is a crucial factor in the design of new driver assistance systems and in-vehicle information systems. Therefore two different driver-vehicle interface concepts for an Active Cruise Control (ACC) system were designed and tested with 12 drivers in a static driving simulator. These concepts differed in the location (steering wheel vs. dashboard) and type of controls. Feedback on the ACC settings was given in a simulated Head-Up Display. While driving, participants were required to adjust the desired speed and following distance of the ACC system. The concepts were compared based on objective measurements of task times, driving performance and glance behaviour as well as subjective questionnaires. The type of task had a significant effect on all dependent measures, whereas the control concept had a lesser effect. The results are used to derive guidelines for the general design of the driver-vehicle interface of such driver assistance systems.

Radar and camera-based applications are now being used to make driving safer. Initially, these advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) applications, such as adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning were convenience features. However, they now take a more active role in the control of the car, with applications like lane keep assist (LKA). Previously high-performance CPUs were consid...

Although Cruise Control (CC) is available for most cars, no studies have been found which examine how this automation system influences driving behaviour. However, a relatively large number of studies have examined Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which compared to CC includes also a distance control. Besides positive effects with regard to a better compliance to speed limits, there are also indic...

Accurate and correct performance of controller in cruise control systems is important. Hence, in such systems, controller should optimize itself against noise and probable changes in system dynamic. As a matter of fact, in this article three approaches have been conducted to-ward this purpose: MIT, direct estimation and indirect estimation. These approaches are used as controllers to track refe...
