Abstract

This study examined driving behavior while using limited driving support systems. Specifically the effects of comprehension level on driving behavior were investigated using a low-speed following system in driving simulator experiments. Comprehension level was set to three conditions, low, middle, and high, based on the amount of pre-instruction given to the test driver. The following results were obtained using two systems with different operating limits. Subjects with low comprehension of the system's capabilities exhibited greater braking latency when the system reached its support limits, and some of them collided with the vehicle ahead of them. Subjects with middle-level comprehension braked as safely as subjects with high comprehension. 2005 Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc. All rights reserved.
