THE HUMAN AS A SYSTEM COMPONENT IN THE INTELLIGENT VEHICLE

The need to reduce injuries and fatalities on the roads, coupled with the increasing number of telematics and communications systems in the vehicle competing for the driver's attention are currently accelerating the development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. A fundamental issue of concern is the role of intervention or automation and the extent to which control of the driving task should remain with the driver. Though intended to increase driving safety, there are also concerns about potential negative behavioural effects such as risk homeostasis, overdependence, issues of trust in technology and emergent behaviours as well as long term effects such as behavioural adaptation. This paper describes some of the human factors research activities within Motorola Labs. which are driving the development of the Driver Advocate TM system. Far from automating the driving task, the philosophy is for the driver to remain a central component of this system. For the covering abstract see ITRD E122427.
