Abstract

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) has been developed recently, and it is desirable that the driver assistance system assists driver to avoid or prevent the high risk situation. Therefore, it is necessary to find situations with high driver's risk and high assistance effect. In complex traffic situations where other traffic participants exist, the risk of overlooking pedestrians is increased by distributing driver's attention on steering maneuver. Drive recorder analysis shows that the risk of overlooking pedestrians increases while turning at an intersection. In this paper, experiment was conducted in a test course by using a special test vehicle equipped with steering control assistance as the driver assistance. By this experiment, it was found that the steering control assistance can double the safety confirmation time for detecting pedestrian under the existence of the lead vehicle so that it may become safer even when following the lead vehicle.
