“…First of all, it can be noted that N1s latencies are quite late as in the Bueno's studies [22] compared to basic studies. This may be due to our dynamic environment associated to low salience of stimuli because of the auditory and visual context within the car simulator.…”

“…It successfully revealed several effects of a forward collision alerting system as well as cognitive distraction on ERPs. [22]. Thus, the use of this ADAS reduced P3 latency evoked by the motorcycle's braking lights.…”

“…A reduction of the visual N1 amplitude may indicate a reduction of the attention allocated to the sensorial processing of braking lights through an attenuation of sensorial sensitivity [27]. Moreover, the procedure used here was previously developed to show an impact of cognitive distraction on ERPs [22]. These authors observed that a cognitive distraction reduced the visual N1 and P3 amplitudes.…”

“…After completing the informed consent form, the EEG recording apparatus was set on participants. They were seated in the simplified driving simulator at 90cm eye-screen distance and completed a 13.5-minute training scenario based on the procedure of Bueno et al [22], in which they were instructed to follow a motorcycle. The driving task was designed to require a low level of motor activation so as to improve the quality of ERP collection.…”

“…However, ERP technique is particularly sensitive to motor activation, which may be a limitation to its usability in a driving context. For that reason, Bueno et al [22] developed a simulated driving task (consisting in a motorcycle following paradigm, on a straight rural road) compatible with ERPs collection. It successfully revealed several effects of a forward collision alerting system as well as cognitive distraction on ERPs.…”

Driver internal state, including emotion, can have negative impacts on road safety. Studies have shown that an anger state can provoke aggressive behavior and impair driving performance. Apart from driving, anger can also influence attentional processing and increase the benefits taken from auditory alerts. However, to our knowledge, no prior event-related potentials study assesses this impact on attention during simulated driving. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of anger on attentional processing and its consequences on driving performance. For this purpose, 33 participants completed a simulated driving scenario once in an anger state and once during a control session. Results indicated that anger impacted driving performance and attention, provoking an increase in lateral variations while reducing the amplitude of the visual N1 peak. The observed effects were discussed as a result of high arousal and mind-wandering associated with anger. This kind of physiological data may be used to monitor a driver's internal state and provide specific assistance corresponding to their current needs.

Summary Mind‐wandering (MW) has a negative impact on tasks requiring sustained and divided attention like driving. During MW, drivers experience perceptual decoupling. As driving is mainly a visual activity, it would seem to be appropriate to evaluate stages of visual information processing impaired during MW, using event‐related potential techniques. The aim of the present study was to investigate how the level of attention devoted to driving impacted visual information processing and reaction time. The findings showed reductions in visual N1 and P3 amplitudes while driving and longer reaction times during periods of self‐reported MW. This suggests that drivers can become detached from their environment by redirecting their attention to their personal thoughts and some of their cognitive resources may be consumed to feed internal trains of thought. In the future, investigating off‐task characteristics might be useful in better understanding the impact of MW in car crashes.

Influence of lane departure warnings onset and reliability on car drivers' behaviors

Lane departures represent an important cause of road crashes. The objective of the present study was to assess the effects of an auditory Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) for partial and full lane departures (onset manipulation) combined with missed warnings (reliability manipulation: 100% reliable, 83% reliable and 66% reliable) on drivers' performances and acceptance. Several studies indicate that LDWS improves drivers' performances during lane departure episodes. However, little is known about the effects of the warning onset and reliability of LDWS. Results of studies which looked at forward collision warning systems show that early warnings tend to improve drivers' performances and receive a better trust judgement from the drivers when compared to later warnings. These studies also suggest that reliable assistances are more effective and trusted than unreliable ones. In the present study, lane departures were brought about by means of a distraction task whilst drivers simulated driving in a fixed-base simulator with or without an auditory LDWS. Results revealed steering behaviors improvements with LDWS. More effective recovery maneuvers were found with partial lane departure warnings than with full lane departure warnings and assistance unreliability did not impair significantly drivers' behaviors. Regarding missed lane departure episodes, drivers were found to react later and spend more time out of the driving lane when compared to properly warned lane departures, as if driving without assistance. Subjectively, LDWS did not reduce mental workload and partial lane departure warnings were judged more trustworthy than full lane departure ones. Data suggests the use of partial lane departure warnings when designing LDWS and that even unreliable LDWS may draw benefits compared to no assistance.
