Analysis of driver behavior for joint human-machine systems design of intelligent driving system

An intelligent driving system that combines the AEB function and the preventive driving assistance system (PDAS) that assists a driver to drive like experienced drivers can improve traffic safety in hazardous situations. We aim to develop PDAS in the shared control approach. This study analyzed driver behaviors in the passing-a-car scenario as an example of a potentially hazardous situation to assess the interaction between the driver and PDAS. Using driving data collected from 29 participants in a controlled test course environment, drivers were categorized into four driver groups based on their safety margins in the passing-a-car scenario. Then the driver behaviors were compared among driver groups. Some drivers belonging to unsafe driver groups passed the parked car with insufficiently reduced speed for their lateral gap. Examining their pedal operations, we found two patterns of unsafe pedal operations resulting in the insufficient speed reduction: delayed pedal-off and no pedal-off. For these unsafe pedal operations, we proposed a speed reduction support strategy.
