DRIVER-AND SITUATION-SPECIFIC EFFECTS ON ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS FOR SPEED AND DISTANCE CONTROL

This paper describes a study which analyzed driver- and situation- specific effects which have to be considered when developing or evaluating Autonomous Intelligent Cruise Control (AICC) systems. The investigations focused on assistance systems which inform or warn a driver in case of inadequate speed or distance. Message to the driver are transferred to the driver via active control devices such as an active gas pedal. Driving experiments were performed whereby subjects' distance keeping behavior was monitored. Analysis revealed capabilities and limitations of AICC systems on principle and of an active gas pedal in particular.
