AIDE - Adaptive Integrated Driver-vehicle Interface, Fraunhofer IAO

Sub-Project 1 | Sub-Project 2 | Sub-Project 3 | Sub-Project 4

Objectives

The general objective of this sub-project is to develop a basic understanding of the DVE interaction and the behavioural effects of IVIS and ADAS and develop this into a model and computer simulation for predicting these effects. The subproject will also develop the general conceptual framework to be used throughout the project, including the definition of taxonomies for IVIS/ADAS functions and their behavioural effects.

Approach

SP1 will involve two major areas of work: (1) Studies on the behavioural effects of driver assistance systems and (2) modelling and simulation of the driver-vehicle-environment system. The general goal of the behavioural studies is to identify the basic mechanisms and critical parameters underlying behavioural effects of driver assistance and information functions. The main focus will be on the effects of ADAS, e.g. behavioural adaptation, as this is where research is most urgently needed. Work will involve simulator studies as well as field operational tests.

On the basis of the empirical results, a model of the DVE interaction will be developed. This model will be a key input to the AIDE design and development in SP3 as well as to the methodological development in SP2. In the later phase of the project, the model will then be implemented in a computer simulation for predicting behavioural effects. A main end application of the model and simulation for prediction of the behavioural effects associated with driver assistance- and information functions. The simulation will be a useful tool for evaluation of new HMI concepts and ADAS and IVIS functions early in product development. The simulation could also be used, in combination with accident analysis, for taking behavioural effects into account when predicting the actual safety benefit of different driver assistance functions.
