This automation level is designed to take care of all aspects of the dynamic driving task in specific application areas and does not require the driver to continuously monitor the system performance. However, in contrast to higher levels of automation the "fallback-ready" user always has to be able to regain control if requested by the system. As CAD allows the driver to engage in non-driving-related tasks (NDRTs) past human factors research has looked at their effects on takeover time and quality especially in short-term takeover situations. In order to understand how takeover performance is impacted by different NDRTs, this paper summarizes and compares available results according to the NDRT's impact on the sensoric, motoric and cognitive transition. In addition, aspects of arousal and motivation are considered. Due to the heterogeneity of the empirical work and the available data practically relevant effects can only be attested for NDRTs that cause severe discrepancies between the current driver state and the requirements of the takeover task, such as sensoric and motoric unavailability.

The Bayesian network infers the collision probability for all vehicles approaching the intersection, while taking into account traffic rules, the digital street map, and the sensors' uncertainties. The environment perception is fused from communicated data, vehicles local perception and self-localization. Thus, a cooperatively validated set of data is obtained to characterize all objects involved in a situation (resolving occlusions). The system is tested with data, acquired by vehicles with heterogenic equipment (without/with perception). In a first step the probabilistic mapping of a vehicle onto a fixed set of traffic lanes and forward motion predictions is introduced. Second, criticality measures are evaluated for these motion predictions to infer the collision probability. In our test vehicle this probability is then used to warn the driver of a possible hazardous situation. It serves as a likelihood alarm parameter for deciding the intensity of HMI acoustic signals to direct the driver's attention. First results in various simulated and live real-time scenarios show, that a collision can be predicted up to two seconds before a possible impact by applying the developed Bayesian network. The extension of this network to further situation features is the content of ongoing research.}, subject = {Fahrerassistenzsystem}, language = {en} } @article{KasparWeidlDangetal.2011, author = {Kaspar, Dietmar and Weidl, Galia and Dang, Thao and Breuel, Gabi and Tamke, Andreas and Rosenstiel, Wolfgang}, title = {Object-Oriented Bayesian Networks for Detection of Lane Change Maneuvers}, series = {IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine}, journal = {IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine}, number = {4(3)}, doi = {10.1109/IVS.2011.5940468}, pages = {19 -- 31}, year = {2011}, abstract = {In this paper we introduce a novel approach towards the recognition of typical driving maneuvers in structured highway scenarios and identify some of the key benefits of traffic scene modeling with object-oriented Bayesian networks (OOBNs).

This combination allows for an efficient classification of the existing vehiclelane and vehicle-vehicle relations in a traffic scene and thus substantially improves the understanding of complex traffic scenes.

Based on research results pertaining to imminent crash warnings, it was expected that the effectiveness of such advisory warnings depends on situation-specific anticipations by the driver. During a simulator study, N = 20 drivers went through a wide range of longitudinal traffic and intersection scenarios. The scenarios varied in the possibility to anticipate traffic conflicts (Anticipation: high vs. low) and were completed under different visibility conditions (Visibility: obstructed vs. visible), with and without driver assistance based on cooperative perception (i.e., visual-auditory advisory warnings two seconds prior to the last-possible warning moment; assistance: no assistance vs. with assistance). The warning concept was based on empirical pre-studies and previously validated on a public test intersection. During non-assisted driving, critical situations were mainly experienced when the possibility to anticipate traffic conflicts was low. Visual obstructions lead to a further increase in the frequency of critical situations. Furthermore, the results indicate a clear mitigation of critical encounters when providing early advisory warnings which is independent from sight obstructions. This applies particularly to surprising and unexpected scenarios and thus illustrates the potential of cooperative perception to enhance active traffic safety.}, subject = {Fahrerassistenzsystem}, language = {en} }
