“…Even the shortest of human BRTs, those of young athletes, fall in the .47-.55s range, and reaction times increase as people age (Schweitzer, Apter, Ben-David, Liebermann, & Parush, 1995;TaiebMaimon & Shinar, 2001). With CACC technology, BRTs occur in less than .1s (Maciuca & Hedrick, 1995); automation, therefore, provides a distinct improvement over human capabilities. However, automation's success relies not only on its technical abilities, but also on peoples' willingness to use, application of, and reliance on the automation.…”

Summary:As traffic volume and delay on highways increase each year, new solutions are required to meet travel demand and ease congestion. One possible solution, Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control, permits vehicles and infrastructure to communicate, providing the capability to maintain safety while increasing travel lane capacity. The technical capabilities have been demonstrated, but as important to ensuring successful implementation is an understanding of the potential human factors-related issues. Use of automation in the driving environment can have numerous pitfalls, which are heavily influenced by a variety of both deliberate and reflexive human judgments and decisions known to be error-prone. This paper examines these potential issues and identifies research areas and questions that may guide future research to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and acceptance of this new technology.

“…Currently, the minimal distance between two vehicles is limited by slow human reaction times, which varies between 1.2 and 1.7 seconds [22]. When the human driver is removed from the control loop the reaction times are significantly reduced.…”

Abstract-To address the goal of providing drivers on highways with guaranteed arrival times, we propose a traffic management system that combines virtual slots with semiautonomous driving to shape traffic and prevent congestion. Two algorithms that address aligning vehicles into slots and efficient merging from three to two lanes are proposed. Furthermore, an implementation and evaluation of these algorithms using the VISSIM traffic simulator is presented. Our initial results indicate that a slot-based system has the potential to be used to guarantee arrival times and provide a significant overall increase in efficiency when compared against a human driving model.
