Use of Level 1 and 2 Driving Automation on Horizontal Curves on Interstates and Freeways
This study examined the use of adaptive cruise control (ACC) and Volvo's Pilot Assist on horizontal curves. The objective was to observe the affects of geometric road design on Level 1 and 2 driving automation systems. On-road driving tests were conducted using two 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoques and two 2017 Volvo S90 vehicles with Pilot Assist. Pilot Assist provides ACC and lane centering assistance. For both vehicles, drivers use of ACC or Pilot Assist decreased as horizontal curvature increased.
