Pedal Misapplication: Interruption Effects and Age-Related Differences

Abstract: Objective This study aimed to investigate whether pedal misapplication occurs more frequently when a pedal task is interrupted for a longer period of time. Background Misapplication of a vehicle’s brake and accelerator pedals can cause severe traffic accidents, especially for older drivers. The present study provides empirical support for the hypothesis that pedal misapplication occurs more frequently when… Show more

“…The rates of accelerator error were consistently two or three times higher than the rates of brake error in both younger and older drivers (Wu et al, 2014). Hasegawa et al (2020) also found that the pedal response times of older adults were higher than younger adults. The rates of accelerator error were consistently two or three times higher among the older drivers which is more than the rates of brake error in both younger and older drivers (Hasegawa et al, 2020).…”

The rates of accelerator error were consistently two or three times higher among the older drivers which is more than the rates of brake error in both younger and older drivers (Hasegawa et al, 2020). Schmidt and Young (2010) have conducted a review that pedal misapplications can occur in other ways than at vehicle start-up.…”

“…Research conducted over the past 20 years has identified several factors that contribute to driver pedal misapplication [ 13 ]. These studies have demonstrated the effect of pedal construction design [ 14 ], age and gender [ 15 , 16 , 17 ], shoe contact area with the pedal, single/dual foot operation mode, foot position [ 18 , 19 ], and driver cognitive function [ 20 , 21 ] on pedal misapplication. Currently, studies on pedal misapplication rely mainly on questionnaire surveys [ 22 ], analysis of vehicle driving data [ 23 ], driver physiological data [ 15 ], video-based foot motion trajectory [ 19 ], and combinations of vehicle driving data and foot posture data [ 12 , 13 , 19 , 20 ].…”

“…In order to prevent the source of operation errors, many studies have attempted to detect inattention [13] [14] [15], cognitive distraction [16] [17] or driver emotion [4] [18] [19] [20] [21]. As for the pedal misapplication due to the surprise event, the previous studies focused on the foot behavior [22], foot placement [23] or interruption of the other task [24]. There is limited knowledge of what happens with the internal states and what should be improved when countermeasures fail to prevent the error.…”
