VEHIL: A full-scale test methodology for intelligent transport systems, vehicles and subsystems

To enhance the efficiency and safety of today's road transport, the application of driver support systems and fully automated, intelligent transport systems becomes increasingly important. The safety and reliability requirements of these systems and their complexity are high, which results in a costly, time consuming development and testing...

Driving with intelligent vehicles. Driving behaviour with ACC and the acceptance by individual drivers

This paper presents an overview of the work of a PhD project performed within the research programme "Technology Assessment Automatic Vehicle Guidance" concerning individual driver behaviour and acceptance of Adaptive Cruise Control [1]. It describes and discusses the results of a questionnaire study and two experimental driving simulator...
