“…This also extends the results of J.Lee and J. Hoffman [19] where graded warnings provided a greater safety margin, meaning that graded approach may provide an additional safety benefit because it may reduce rear-end collisions induced by sudden braking in response to false warnings. Chen' s study [2] also indicated that provide drivers with traffic situation advisory system can support the driver better participant in critical situation.…”

Abstract-This paper presents a cross-regional study that examined the difference on drivers' preference and behaviors when driving with driver advisory systems between Swedish and Chinese drivers. A drive simulator study was conducted in both countries. Two interfaces were proposed: Design 1 presents directional information; Design 2 combines directional and road user icons. The results showed Swedish drivers perceived a higher acceptance score of the systems than Chinese drivers. Swedish and Chinese drivers expressed different information needs on different regions around the car. When driving with design 2, Swedish and Chinese reduced the number of collisions by 13% and 18% respectively, compared with driving without any system. The brake-to-minimum TTC proved that Swedish and Chinese drivers utilized the systems differently. These findings indicate drivers' preferences and strategies towards advisory systems are highly culturally mediated, and adaptive design for different drivers is highly recommended.Index Terms-Cross-culture, drive advisory system, driving behavior, driver preference. I. INTRODUCTIONAutonomous Driving (AD) cars are developing very fast for its possibility of enhancing traffic efficiency, safety and CO2 emission. During the transition period from total manual driving, to assist automation till full-automated drive, many new human factor problems appear. One of the problems is that drivers may over-rely on the automation systems and it could lead to reduced Situation Awareness (SA), which induce problems in reclaiming control when necessary [1]. Thus, to support SA, we need a system that provide the driver with a foresight on up-coming situations, and helps the driver with decision making on resuming control when necessary, the system should facilitate the interaction between a driver and automated systems [2], [3].Meanwhile, with the rapid development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technology, many warning designs have been implemented in vehicles, such as Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and so on. Recently, researchers have pointed out that ADAS should focus more on design for SA to provide the driver with attention support, rather than on warnings [4], [5].One of the challenges of ADAS design is to understand Manuscript received September 20, 2014; revised February 23, 2015.

With the technology development, sensor technologies, algorithms for full-automated cars would be ready in the near future, but the drivers might not ready for it. One of the reason is the drivers not have enough confidence to hand over their...

“…More research is necessary to determine the most effective placement, presentation, number, and intensity of a tactile display for rear-end collision warnings. Regardless of driver preference, the present findings, along with previous research (e.g., Lee, Hoffman, & Hayes, 2004;Ferris, Penfold, Hameed, & Sarter, 2006), support tactile warnings over visual and audio warnings for rear-end collision avoidance-some drivers may not have preferred the tactile warnings, but they worked the best to improve brake RT! Interestingly, there is a near-even split between drivers that prefer visual warnings and those that prefer tactile warnings.…”

Summary: This study examined the effectiveness of rear-end collision warnings presented in different sensory modalities as a function of warning timing in a driving simulator. Drivers experienced four warning conditions: no warning, visual, auditory, and tactile. The warnings activated when the time-to-collision (TTC) reached a critical value of 3.0 or 5.0 s TTC. Driver reaction time (RT) was captured from the time the driver crossed the warning activation threshold to brake initiation. Mean driver RT data showed that the tactile warning significantly outperformed the visual warning, providing support for tactile displays as effective rear-end collision warnings.

“…One such simulator study examining the effectiveness of audio alerts for an intersection collision warning system showed that drivers receiving the auditory alert had a shorter reaction time, lower speed and reduced crash rate compared to drivers receiving no such alerts (Chang et al 2009). In a distracted driving context, a simulator study by Lee showed that graded warnings provided a greater safety margin and elicited fewer inappropriate responses to poor alarms from drivers (Lee, Hoffman & Hayes 2004). Another simulator study showed that audiovisual collision avoidance warnings elicited the best performance in terms of alerting drivers to potential forward and side object collisions, and older drivers were found to benefit as much as younger drivers from such alerts (Kramer et al 2007).…”

Summary: Forward roadway collision warning systems can reduce rear-end collisions, among other unsafe behaviors. Previous studies have shown that young drivers fail to scan adequately for latent hazards. The current driving simulator study investigates the effect of visual collision warning messages on drivers' hazard anticipation ability, when presented either 2s, 3s or 4s in advance of a potential threat. This experiment examined the latent hazard anticipation behavior of forty-eight young drivers aged 18-25 across eight unique scenarios both, in the presence, and absence of visual collision warning alerts. The analysis of glance data captured using an eye tracker, show that visual warning messages significantly increased the proportion of latent hazards anticipated regardless of hazard type (pedestrian or vehicle). The 2s warning duration was found to statistically have the same effect on hazard anticipation compared to the 3s and 4s warning thresholds. The study has potential implications for the effective design of forward collision warning systems.
