• PDT;
• Occlusion;
• Lane Change Test;
• Driving Simulators;
• Equipped cars, field tests.
Towards a next generation of evaluation methodology the following challenges have been
pointed out:
• Qualify existing methods for the evaluation of integrated and adaptive solutions.
• User Adaptation requires long term aspects during evaluations.
• Situation Adaptation requires complex evaluation scenarios.
• Integrated Solutions require complex evaluation settings.
• Provoke interactions between experimental treatments.
Development of evaluation methodology within AIDE is the task of Subproject 2. While
SP1 will identify and model the behavioural effects of IVIS and ADAS functions, the
objective of SP2 is to develop a cost efficient and industrially applicable methodology for
quantifying these effects and their relation to road safety. An important goal is to extend
existing approaches in order to account for new adaptive integrated interface solutions, new
ADAS and nomad devices. Moreover, the methods and tools developed will be linked to
design guidelines and standards (in particular the European Statement of Principles).
3.4. Driver-Vehicle-Environment modelling in AIDE within Sub-project 1 (Behavioural
Effects and Driver-Vehicle-Environment Modelling)
Presenter: Pietro Carlo Cacciabue, JRC.
3.4.1. Objectives and Planned activity
The general objective of this sub-project is to develop a basic understanding of the
DVE interaction and the behavioural effects of IVIS and ADAS and develop this into a model
and computer simulation for predicting these effects. The sub-project will also develop the
general conceptual framework to be used throughout the project, including the definition of
taxonomies for IVIS/ADAS functions and their behavioural effects.
SP1 involves two major areas of work: modelling and simulation of the driver-vehicleenvironment
system (WP 1 and 2); and Studies on the behavioural effects of driver assistance
systems and (WP 3).
The general goal of the behavioural studies is to identify the basic mechanisms and
critical parameters underlying behavioural effects of driver assistance and information
functions. The main focus will be on the effects of ADAS, e.g. behavioural adaptation, as this
is where research is most urgently needed. Work will involve simulator studies as well as
field operational tests.
On the basis of the empirical results, a model of the DVE interaction will be
developed. This model will be a key input to the AIDE design and development in SP3 as
well as to the methodological development in SP2.
