Abstract:Driver braking performance is highly dependent on the driver’s ability to estimate closing distance to the vehicle in front of them. Unfortunately, drivers often do not accurately perceive closing speed (Hoffman & Mortimer, 1996). Here, we examined whether providing graded deceleration magnitudes via an array of horizontally arranged brake lights (Graded Deceleration Display - GDD) can improve driver braking performance over standard (Binary) displays. In simulation, participants followed a lead vehicle throug… Show more
