Title: Differences in Degree of Conflict Accepted in Younger and Older Drivers with A Lane Change Collision Avoidance System
Accession Number: 01372461
Record Type: Component
Abstract: This study evaluated a lane change collision avoidance system (CAS) using the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS). The goal of this evaluation was to determine if there are conditions under which the use of a lane change CAS with only a proximity warning system (i.e., blind spot detector) leads to unsafe driver behavior. The evaluation examined and compared five CAS types, namely a representative commercially available proximity warning system, the TRW proximity only CAS system, the TRW comprehensive system, nonplanar mirror on the left side of the vehicle, and a baseline with standard passenger vehicle mirrors. Sixteen younger drivers age 16 to 21 and sixteen older drivers age 66 to 83 completed five simulator drives each with a different type of lane change collision warning system (CAS). There were significantly different levels of degree of conflict with a blind spot vehicle across type of lane change CAS and interactions with direction of lane change and lead vehicle action.
