Road Users and Human Machine Interaction

Description

With the number of in-vehicle information systems and the complexity of their tasks growing at a very high rate in near future, we need a clear understanding of their related distraction or mental workload and its impact on driver performance as these systems do not always comply with the intended driver safety enhancement. The advent of vehicle automation promotes a reduction of the driver workload. However, depending on the automation grade; consequences for the passengers such as out-of-the-loop states can be foreseen. This presentation gives an overview of the impact of such technologies on traffic awareness for the driver towards improving driving performance and reducing road accidents. Furthermore, the benefits and potential problems regarding vehicle automation will be outlined.
