“…The methods of communication between vehicle and driver have been the focus of studies in order to optimize the effort required to acquire information [33,34]. However, in the near future, these data, which also contain information coming from outside (for example, the road manager), will become particularly complex for the driver to manage and the transmission methods will have to be carefully studied [35,36].…”

The Role of ADAS While Driving in Complex Road Contexts: Support or Overload for Drivers?

The possibility of using some warnings inside modern vehicles should be an aid to driving activity. However, the information transferred to users is not always received in the expected way due to the variability and complexity of the road environment. This study, therefore, aims to identify a procedure that allows to ascertain whether drivers receive the data in an appropriate way even during particular maneuvers, such as passing cyclists on a winding road or, on the contrary, if they represent an unnecessary overload. To answer this question, an experimentation in a simulated environment was set up for recording the drivers’ visual behavior in both the presence and absence of a driving aid device (On-Board Unit, OBU). The results show that, in some situations, the information provided by the OBU helps to maintain a more virtuous driving behavior but, in the most complex ones, drivers acquire information from a smaller number of sources, excluding the aid devices inside the cockpit. This procedure is useful for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) designers to refine these instruments, but also for road managers who can improve safety by inserting appropriate signs or speed limits.
