Nudging drivers to engage safe behaviour in traffic

op den Camp, O.M.G.C. (author), Uittenbogaard, J. (author), Bakker, B. (author)

To increase traffic safety, systems are being implemented in vehicles that support drivers to avoid or mitigate collisions. Generally, these systems only provide a response to the driver in case of an imminent critical situation. Responses in the form of warning signals and brake or steering actuations are harsh, as they act in the last one to...

Temporal Performance of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems vis-á-vis Human Driving Behavior in Dense Traffic

Hamberg, R. (author), Hendriks, T. (author), Bijlsma, T. (author)

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are becoming ubiquitous, and gradually take over the role of human drivers in the vision of the automotive sector. Humans are different from most systems: while in general humans exhibit a much higher error rate when performing specific functions, they are also unmatched in their adaptability, and their...

Results of cooperative driving applications of the SPITS project

van den Broek, T.H.A. (author), Netten, B.D. (author), Lieverse, P. (author)

In this paper, the design and results of two cooperative driving applications are presented that both increase traffic flow on highways by reducing shockwave traffic jams and decrease the risk of head-on collisions. The first application is an advisory system based on vehicle-vehicle communication that showed positive results with a penetration...

Early user participation in the identification of use case scenarios for “connected cruise control”

Risto, M. (author), Martens, M.H. (author)

Connected Cruise Control (CCC) aims to improve throughput in dense commuter traffic on motorways by advising drivers on speed, headway and lane-use via a nomadic human-machine interface. The advice is generated from a prediction of future traffic flow, based on actual traffic-loop data and is transmitted to the in-car platform via 3.5G...

Towards nondestructive testing of pre-crash systems in a HIL setup

Ploeg, J. (author), Hendriks, F.M. (author), Schouten, N.J. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)

Recently, the developments in the field of ADA systems shifted from comfort oriented systems to safety oriented systems. Consequently, the complexity of testing those systems increased. This leads to a demand for reproducible, efficient and safe testing methods for ADA systems in general, and pre-crash systems in particular. A method for pre...

Attuning in-car user interfaces to the momentary cognitive load

Hoedemaeker, M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)

Cars, trucks and busses are more and more equipped with functions and services that drivers are supposed to operate and understand. The most important developments in this area are the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and In Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS). In order to make sure that the driver understands and appreciates (comfort)...
