Behavioral Adaptation to In-Vehicle Safety Measures: Past Ideas and Future Directions

This paper discusses in-vehicle safety devices and how human beings have adapted to them. It reviews the definition and general understanding of behavioral adaptation, presents empirical research on engineering safety interventions (studded tires, antilock brakes, seat belts, and air bags), and intelligent transportation system devices (fatigue warning systems, collision warning systems, in-vehicle navigation systems, vision enhancement systems), and discusses future directions. Some future directions for research in behavioral adaptation include the areas of trust in automation, locus of control, sensation seeking, and quantitative theories of behavioral adaptation.
