Important results from the project
The objectives were met. The simulator study showed results regarding increased safety with the help of driver monitoring systems. Valuable insights through interviews and surveys also emerged. These included how drivers perceived the system´s functions and what factors influenced their perceived safety and annoyance. Development criteria for ADAS have demonstrated a relationship with various traffic data sources to produce and share data on driver intent, behavior, and traffic context.
Expected long term effects
The project helps to better adapt systems to the needs of different groups, which can lead to fewer accidents and higher user acceptance. It demonstrates the need for next-generation driver assistance systems that meet future demands in personalized driver assistance and HMI, as well as current and upcoming regulatory requirements. It demonstrates the utilization of combined information from connected data sources, surrounding traffic, and behavior predictions, to improve vehicle safety.
Approach and implementation
The project was conducted with a mixed methods design, including a simulator study, online surveys, and qualitative interviews. The participants were divided into three groups: a control group, a group exposed to mobile distractions, and a group exposed to both mobile distractions and warnings from the driver monitoring system. The data collection was analyzed to examine differences in driver behavior and perceived safety.
