A field operational test of prototype integrated crash warning systems conducted over a 6-week period for 108 light-vehicle drivers and a 10-month period for 18 heavy-truck drivers. The report, authored by James R. Sayer, presents findings from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute on driver behavior and acceptance. Data captured includes the driving environment, driver behavior, warning system activity, and vehicle kinematics.
Use Cases
- Modeling driver behavioral adaptation based on detailed data on driver behavior and warning system activity.
- Evaluating the effectiveness of forward crash, lateral drift, and lane-change/merge warnings on lane-keeping and lane departures.
- Analyzing driver acceptance of integrated safety systems based on post-drive survey and debriefing data.
Strengths
- Data collection involved 16 instrumented light vehicles and 10 heavy trucks.
- Findings are based on analyses performed by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.
- Captured detailed data on the driving environment, driver behavior, warning system activity, and vehicle kinematics.
