INITIAL STUDY TOWARD A METHODICAL APPROACH FOR THE ENGINEERING OF DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY

This study examines stop-and-go Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and presents an approach for the development and evaluation of driver assistance systems. The project included five tasks: 1) a literature survey of human factors issues; 2) preparation of new empirical measurements of stop-and-go driving; 3) processing and analysis of data; 4) development and validation of a computer model representing manual stop-and-go data; and, 5) examination of a "model-difference" method for isolating the events in records of manual driving. The authors conclude that an ACC control algorithm that approximates manual headway management is feasible.
